New research published in Cell Reports by the Dustin Group has discovered a new way for immune cells to relay information about infection or genetic mutations through dynamic, yet durable cell contacts before deciding how to respond.

Time lapse shown as a montage (time increasing from left to right & then through rows with interval of 2.5 minutes), of a human T cell engaging with a printed spot displaying messenger-associated signal. The cell moves around continuously but always pinned down, thus ensuring durable and continuous interaction. Note: raw images have been superimposed and smoothed for illustration.
