This study was the first to use nanofabricated solid-state constraints to physically repattern the immunological synapse. The authors demonstrated that downstream phosphorylation and calcium signaling were altered in geometrically repatterned synapses.

In this study, the authors use substrates fabricated with defined nanometer-scale curvatures to influence the formation of phase-separated domains in supported lipid bilayers. Such domains are thought to be an organizing element for membrane-associated proteins in T cells.
