Signal Transduction: Receptor Clusters as Information Processing Arrays

The organization of transmembrane receptors into higher-order arrays occurs in cells as different as bacteria, lymphocytes and neurons. What are the implications of receptor clustering for short-term and long-term signaling processes that occur in response to ligand binding?
