T cells 'hunt' parasites like animal predators seek prey, a Penn Vet-Penn Physics study reveals
Date:5/27/2012

is something that hadn't been recognized before when mapping the paths in other contexts.

"From a physics point of view, to have runs and pauses is a new model," Liu said. "Biological phenomena can illustrate what we wouldn't have thought about otherwise."

The Penn collaborators are working to plot the tracks of other cell types and credit their unique partnership for their discovery.

"We've said all along that this study could only happen because [our physics colleagues] had such a great expertise and we had our own separate expertise," Tajie Harris said. "They took a chance working with us, and it turned out to be something really rewarding."
