Schematic illustration of the cell-implant interactions via adhesion-mediating proteins and receptors. During attachment and spreading on the implant, the cell adheres to proteins adsorbed on the implant surface including collagen and fibronectin through transmembrane integrins units. Focal complexes are formed termed focal adhesion complexes consisting of molecular components such as paxillin, talin and vinculin
