A plastic relationship between vinculin-mediated tension and adhesion complex area defines adhesion size and lifetime

Cell-matrix adhesions are central mediators of mechanotransduction, yet the interplay between force and adhesion regulation remains unclear. Here we use live cell imaging to map time-dependent cross-correlations between vinculin-mediated tension and adhesion complex area, revealing a plastic, contex...
