Advanced imaging to study cancer-immune interactions

Caption

An immune response is initiated when an antigen-presenting cell (pink) presents foreign material to a T-cell (blue). When the T-cell binds to that foreign material, an immune synapse is formed. Jeffrey Chuang found that the more synapses that are formed in the vicinity of breast cancer, the longer patients tended to survive. Credit: The Jackson Laboratory/Creative Team
