We present evidence that nanotubular highways, or membrane nanotubes, facilitate a novel
mechanism for intercellular communication in the immune system. Nanotubes were seen to …

NKG2D (natural-killer group 2, member D) is a powerful activating receptor expressed by
natural killer (NK) cells and T cells that regulates immune responses during infection, cancer …

Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells that secrete lytic granules to directly kill
virus-infected or transformed cells across an immune synapse. However, a major gap in …
