Deterministic mechanical model of T-killer cell polarization reproduces the wandering of aim between simultaneously engaged targets.
T-killer cells of the immune system eliminate virus-infected and tumorous cells through direct cell-cell interactions. Reorientation of the killing apparatus inside the T cell to the T-cell interface with the target cell ensures specificity of the immune response. The killing apparatus can also osci...
