The synapse Davis refers to is the immunological synapse, where T cells receive their marching orders; understanding it is vital to appreciating how an immune response is set in motion. "We like to ...

Immunological synapse (IS) formation is a key part of developing and sustaining immune responses against cancer and is necessary for T cells and NK cells to eliminate tumor cells. This webinar will ...

The immunological synapse is the crossroads of the adaptive immune system, through which helper T cells instruct B cells to induce antibody production or killer T cells latch onto infected and ...

The immunological synapse is a thing of beauty to behold under a microscope but the kiss of death for a cancer cell. "Synapse" is the word used to describe prolonged contact between a T cell and ...

The study, published in the November 18, 2005, issue of Science, reveals how T cells analyze and react to the signals of infection at the immunological synapse.

Switching immune cells on is a critical step in combating infection. In the case of T cells, which are key players in immunity, this happens when dormant T cells circulating in the blood encounter ...

Immunological synapse formation is essential for T cell activation. A recent paper in Science reports that immunological and neurological synapses utilize a common molecule, agrin.

Actin reorganization at the immunological synapse is required for the amplification and generation of a functional immune response. Using small interfering RNA, we show here that dynamin 2 (Dyn2 ...

Molecular dynamics at immune synapse lipid rafts influence the cytolytic behavior of CAR T cells. Science Advances , 2025; 11 (2) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adq8114 Cite This Page : ...
