The study investigates how adhesion affects the rapid recruitment and exclusion of ligands at cell-cell interfaces.
Experimental observation of cell-cell interactions
Analysis of ligand recruitment dynamics
Simulation of membrane environments
Ligand recruitment occurs rapidly upon cell adhesion
Exclusion of certain ligands is observed in crowded membrane environments
Dynamic interactions alter the functionality of cell communication.
Abstract
Various cell-cell interactions are triggered by the binding of ligands to receptors on the cell membrane. This binding occurs effectively within a biological membrane crowded with other types of membrane...
