Membrane dynamics in immunology

Membrane dynamics in immunology refer to the movement and organization of cell membranes, especially in immune cells. These membranes contain proteins and lipids that shuffle, cluster, and change locations to allow immune cells to recognize and respond to threats like bacteria or viruses. This flexibility helps immune cells detect invaders, communicate with each other, and activate immune responses efficiently. Processes such as receptor movement, endocytosis, and signaling depend on membrane dynamics, ensuring immune cells function properly and adapt quickly to different challenges.
