Our paper "Integrin nanoclusters can bridge thin matrix fibres to form cell–matrix adhesions" is commented in Nature Materials. "This study demonstrates that single thin fibres are unable to support adhesion of cells even with sufficient ligand density; rather, they support transient adhesion events. Instead, adhesion is better supported when fibres are in parallel, are crossing or are wide enough, highlighting the significance of matrix geometry. Moreover, the role of adhesi
