Actin waves guide an outward movement of microclusters in the lymphocyte immunological synapse

Samuel Z Khiangte, Aheria Dey, Huw Colin‐York…·Sudha Kumari

The paper identifies anterograde actin waves that move antigen-engaged microclusters away from the cSMAC, revealing a dual actin dynamics mechanism in T cell immunological synapses.

WASP facilitates tumor mechanosensitivity in T lymphocytes

Srishti Mandal, Mariane B. Melo, Pavlo I. Gordiichuk…·Sudha Kumari

This study identifies WASP as a key mediator of mechanosensitivity in CTLs, linking mechanical cues from target cells to TCR signaling and immune response.
