Cells in tissue can communicate short-range via direct contact, and long-range via diffusive signals. In addition, another class of cell-cell communication is by long, thin cellular protrusions that are ~100 microns in length and ~100 nanometers in...

The activation of T cells, key players of the immune system, involves local evacuation of molecules (phosphatases) from the nearby region of the cell surface, segregating them from the T cell receptor. What drives this evacuation? This phenomenon...
