Many bacteria produce extracellular and surface-associated components such as
membrane vesicles (MVs), extracellular DNA and moonlighting cytosolic proteins for which …

Clonal expansion of lymphocytes is a hallmark of vertebrate adaptive immunity. A small
number of precursor cells that recognize a specific antigen proliferate into expanded clones …

It has long been recognized that alterations in cell shape and polarity play important roles in
coordinating lymphocyte functions. In the last decade, a new aspect of lymphocyte polarity …

We demonstrate that black silicon (b-Si) made by dry plasma etching is a promising
substrate for laser three-dimensional (3D) micro/nano-polymerization. High aspect ratio Si …

Motivation: There is a need for effective automated methods for profiling dynamic cell–cell
interactions with single-cell resolution from high-throughput time-lapse imaging data …

The β-selection checkpoint of T cell development tests whether the cell has recombined its
genomic DNA to produce a functional T cell receptor β (TCRβ). Passage through the β …

During mammalian T cell development, the requirement for expansion of many individual T
cell clones, rather than merely expansion of the entire T cell population, suggests a possible …

The role of intracellular calcium ion oscillations in T‐cell physiology is being increasingly
appreciated by studies that describe how unique temporal and spatial calcium ion …

ABSTRACT A fundamental question in biology is how single cells can reliably produce
progeny of different cell types. Notch signalling frequently facilitates fate determination …

T cells are activated through interaction with antigen‐presenting cells (APC s). During
activation, receptors and signaling intermediates accumulate in diverse spatiotemporal …
