Polymer-supported membranes as models of the cell surface

TL;DR: This work focuses on lipid-bilayer membranes supported on solid substrates, which are widely used as cell-surface models that connect biological and artificial materials and when these systems are coupled with advanced semiconductor technology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-molecule microscopy reveals plasma membrane microdomains created by protein-protein networks that exclude or trap signaling molecules in T cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that the coreceptor CD2, the adaptor protein LAT, and tyrosine kinase Lck cocluster in discrete microdomains in the plasma membrane of signaling T cells, which require protein-protein interactions mediated through phosphorylation of LAT and are not maintained by interactions with actin or lipid rafts.
Journal ArticleDOI

The who, how and where of antigen presentation to B cells.

TL;DR: This Review summarize studies that have used high-resolution imaging approaches to visualize antigen presentation to B cells in secondary lymphoid organs that illustrate that encounters of B cells with antigen in these organs can be facilitated by diffusion of the antigen or by the presentation of antigen by macrophages, dendritic cells and follicular dendsritic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signal transduction by cell adhesion receptors and the cytoskeleton : functions of integrins, cadherins, selectins, and immunoglobulin-superfamily members

TL;DR: Insight is provided into mechanisms underlying the ability of integrins, cadherins, selectins, and other cell adhesion molecules to regulate signal transduction cascades that permit the efficient flow of information in signaling pathways.
