Abstract
Cell spreading and cell adhesion are influenced by the nature of the cell membrane and the structure of the cytoskeleton. The cell membrane with its surface glycopolymers, in combination with the cytoskeleton, may control interactions between the cell and its environment. Particularly the membrane-bound cytoskeleton appears to be involved in the organization of the membrane, and the formation of cell-substrate and cell-cell contacts (Traas and Ramaekers, 1986).
