Catch Bonds at T Cell Interfaces: Impact of Surface Reorganization and Membrane Fluctuations

Catch bonds are characterized by average lifetimes that initially increase with increasing tensile force. Recently, they have been implicated in T cell activation, where small numbers of antigenic receptor-ligand bonds at a cell-cell interface can stimulate a T cell. Here, we use computational metho...
