## Abstract To investigate the effects of cell–cell interactions on cellular function, the microenvironment surrounding cells should be precisely controlled. Here, we describe a cell patterning technique, which utilizes magnetic force and magnetite nanoparticles. This method was used to develop cel
The early events of T-cell generation, i.e. seeding of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells onto the thymic stroma, involve a small fraction (up to \(1 \%\) ) of thymus cells and are not presently observable. However, these events are crucial in determining the outcome of thymic colonization. In pre
The mechanism of recognition by natural killer (NK) cells is still unknown. A dynamic model is formulated describing recognition of NK-sensitive target cells (TCs) by NK cells or NK-like cells. This model does not assume the presence of the specific NK-receptor(s) on the membrane of NK cells and cor
