| Cells interact physically with their environment through adhesion structures. To study adhesion structures in transformed cells, Normal Rat Kidney cells transformed with Rous Sarcoma virus were microinjected with fluorescently labeled alpha-actinin, which incorporates into cellular adhesion structures. |

Size = 320 x 240 pixels.| These timelapse sequences show flower-lik, rapidly changing adhesion structures located on the bottom surface of the cell like feet. These structures are likely involved in the invasive behavior of transformed cells. |
