Disperse systems, and emulsions in particular, are currently massively used in fields as
varied as food industry, cosmetics, health care and environmentally‐friendly materials. To …

Cell adhesion is a central process in cellular communication and regulation. Adhesion sites
are triggered by specific ligand–receptor interactions inducing the clustering of both partners …

Immune synapse formation is a key step for lymphocyte activation. In B lymphocytes, the
immune synapse controls the production of high-affinity antibodies, thereby defining the …

The immune synapse is the tight contact zone between a lymphocyte and a cell presenting
its cognate antigen. This structure serves as a signaling platform and entails a polarization of …

Phagocytosis by macrophages represents a fundamental process essential for both
immunity and tissue homeostasis. It consists in the uptake of pathogenic or cellular targets …

In this work, we report on the development of mannose-coated fluorescent lipid
microparticles to study the role of C-type lectin membrane receptors in phagocytosis. The …

Microbubbles are widely used for biomedical applications, ranging from imagery to therapy.
In these applications, microbubbles can be functionalized to allow targeted drug delivery or …

The study of lymphocyte polarization upon antigen encounter typically relies on the random
pairing between the cells of interest and a stimulating particle (micro bead) that mimics only …

Cell adhesion is a fundamental phenomenon for cell communication and regulation.
Adhesion sites are triggered by the binding of single ligand-receptor pairs that will initiate …
