The Role of the Cytoskeleton in Regulating the Natural Killer Cell Immune Response in Health and Disease: From Signaling Dynamics to Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid cells, which play key roles in elimination of virally infected and malignant cells. The balance between activating and inhibitory signals derived from NK surface receptors govern the NK cell immune response ...

Inhibitory receptor signaling destabilizes immunological synapse formation in primary NK cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2013
Upon engagement of their cognate class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) ligands, receptors containing immunotyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) transduce signals that block cytolytic and inflammatory responses.

Durable Interactions of T Cells with T Cell Receptor Stimuli in the Absence of a Stable Immunological Synapse

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: T cells engage in two modes of interaction with antigen-presenting surfaces: stable synapses and motile kinapses. Although it is surmised that durable interactions of T cells with antigen-presenting cells involve synapses, in situ 3D imaging ...

Neuroinflammation, Mast Cells, and Glia: Dangerous Liaisons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The perspective of neuroinflammation as an epiphenomenon following neuron damage is being replaced by the awareness of glia and their importance in neural functions and disorders.

Synaptoimmunology - roles in health and disease

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2017
Mounting evidence suggests that the nervous and immune systems are intricately linked. Many proteins first identified in the immune system have since been detected at synapses, playing different roles in normal and pathological situations.

Three-Dimensional Gradients of Cytokine Signaling between T Cells.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2015
Immune responses are regulated by diffusible mediators, the cytokines, which act at sub-nanomolar concentrations. The spatial range of cytokine communication is a crucial, yet poorly understood, functional property. Both containment of cytokine action in

Functional single-cell analysis of T-cell activation by supported lipid bilayer-tethered ligands on arrays of nanowells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Supported lipid bilayers are an important biomolecular tool for characterizing immunological synapses. Immobilized bilayers presenting tethered ligands on planar substrates have yielded both spatio-temporal and structural insights into how T cell ...

Imaging the Human Immunological Synapse [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Visualized Experiments, 2019
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 stages of the IS formation and the subsequent trafficking events (occurring both in the APC and in ...
