Membrane interfaces formed at junctions between cells are often associated with characteristic patterns of membrane protein organization, such as in epithelial tissues and between cells of the immune system. While this organization can be influenced by receptor clustering, lipid domain formation, and cytoskeletal dynamics, this talk will describe how cell surface molecular height can directly contribute to the spatial arrangement of membrane proteins and downstream signaling. Using a new optical method for characterizing molecular height, together with experiments using giant vesicles in vitro systems and live immune cells, we are investigating how cell surface molecular heights can be key contributors to cell-cell communication.
