EphA2/ephrin-A1 Signaling Complexes

Caption

Metal lines embedded into a silica membrane beneath a cell act as a diffusion barrier, impeding the mobility of EphA2/ephrin-A1 signaling complexes so that they accumulate along the boundaries of the barrier. Without the barrier, the complexes are transported to a centralized location within the cell.
