Mechanical licensing of functional dendritic cell states for enhanced T cell priming

Yi Chen, Amanda S. Bluem, Fatemeh Tavakoli Joorabi…·Kyle H. Vining

This paper shows that mechanical stress relaxation in dendritic cells (DCs) influences their functional states, enhancing T cell priming through improved antigen presentation and migration.
