From Handshakes to Hugs: Embracing the Dynamics of Immunological Synapse Strength and Avidity 

What is an immune synapse?  An immunological (or immune) synapse is the interface between a cancer and an immune cell , which is formed in a highly stable, organized manner. The immunological synapse is composed of all intercellular interactions taking place at the interface between the interacting pair, including TCR clustering, co-receptor binding, cell-cell adhesion…

C-Trap® experiments shed light on the mechanisms that govern Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) Complexes  

In two recent scientific publications, Johannes Stigler and his team from the Gene Center of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Germany, set out to mechanistically describe the action of the Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) Complexes using LUMICKS’ C-Trap® technology. By performing dynamic single-molecule experiments coupled with real-time visualization, they were able…
