Immunological synapse formation between T regulatory cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts promotes tumour development [PDF]
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have emerged as a dominant non-hematopoietic cell population in the tumour microenvironment, serving diverse functions in tumour progression.

Orchestration of Immunological Synapse Assembly by Vesicular Trafficking
Ligation of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) by cognate peptide bound to the Major Histocompatibility Complex on the surface of an antigen-presenting cell (APC) leads to the spatial reorganization of the TCR and accessory receptors to form a specialized

Spatiotemporal Regulation of Signaling: Focus on T Cell Activation and the Immunological Synapse. [PDF]
In a signaling network, not only the functions of molecules are important but when (temporal) and where (spatial) those functions are exerted and orchestrated is what defines the signaling output.

CD99-mediated immunological synapse formation potentiates CAR-T cell function [PDF]
Despite the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells in selected hematological malignancies, further improvement on CAR-T designs is still desirable.

The chemokine receptor CCR7 guides T cells and dendritic cells to and within lymph nodes to launch the onset of adaptive immunity. Here, we demonstrate that CCR7 in addition acts as a potent co-stimulatory molecule in T cell activation.

Cx43-Gap Junctions Accumulate at the Cytotoxic Immunological Synapse Enabling Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Melanoma Cell Killing [PDF]
Upon tumor antigen recognition, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and target cells form specialized supramolecular structures, called cytotoxic immunological synapses, which are required for polarized delivery of cytotoxic granules.

Imaging the Human Immunological Synapse. [PDF]
The purpose of the method is to generate an immunological synapse (IS), an example of cell-to-cell conjugation formed by an antigen-presenting cell (APC) and an effector helper T lymphocyte (Th) cell, and to record the images corresponding to the first ...
