Hydrodynamics of transient cell-cell contact: The role of membrane permeability and active protrusion length.
In many biological settings, two or more cells come into physical contact to form a cell-cell interface. In some cases, the cell-cell contact must be transient, forming on timescales of seconds. One example is offered by the T cell, an immune cell which must attach to the surface of other cells in o...
