Trogocytosis, an intercellular communication process of the immune system, involves active transfer of plasma membrane (including its cell surface molecules) with conjugates formed between certain types of immune cells. In this issue, Iwasaki et al. describe the transfer of CD8ab heterodimers from T cells to monocytes, demonstrating the precise mechanism of Ab‐dependent and FcγR‐mediated trogocytosis. These events are graphically interpreted on the cover of this issue. Cover design by Bärbel Beran [ www.beran‐design.de ].
