The BCR- and TCR-mediated immunological synapses are strikingly similar in ... recognition of carbohydrate patterns, bacterial structures, apoptotic cells and debris associated with cell damage ...

Chemical synapses are not the only type of biological synapse: electrical and immunological synapses also exist. Without a qualifier, however, "synapse" commonly refers to chemical synapse.

Investigators from Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children’s Cancer Center and the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy at Baylor, Houston Methodist Hospital and Texas Children’s Hospital examined how ...

In the Huse lab, we combine imaging technology with synthetic chemistry and materials science to understand how immune cells communicate. Effective immune responses against infectious agents and ...

The interaction between CD2 and CD58 is critical for forming the immunological synapse, which is pivotal in immune cell activation and adhesion, as well as signaling in both immune and target cells.

Led by first author Dr. Ahmed Gad, postdoctoral associate in Ahmed's lab, the research team examined molecular dynamics at the immune synapse. The team biopsied the CAR T cell immunological ...
