Sentinel cells could be engineered to capture a diverse range of molecular and cellular biomarkers and then express the information as encoded proteins or nucleic acids which could be retrieved ...

Sentinel cells of the immune system can enter the finest lymphatic capillary vessels present in tissues. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered the molecular signpost that guides these ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg described a new type of cell located in the intestine. These so-called sentinel cells keep an eye out for invading bacteria and sacrifice themselves to ...

A novel cell type known as the sentinel goblet cell has been identified in the colonic crypt in a new study published in Science. These cells help to expel bacteria by stimulating a wave of mucus ...

A lone Sentinel cell monitors and coordinates the defense of the entrance to the colon's most sensitive parts. The Sentinel cell detects nearby bacteria and signals to a line of defensive cells to ...

WEHI researchers have made a surprise discovery about how immune 'sentinel' cells are maintained, which could have implications for drugs in development for treating cancer. The researchers ...

Researchers during a recent study made a surprise discovery about how immune ''sentinel'' cells are maintained, which could have implications for drugs in development for cancer treatment.

Antibodies and killer cells, which are able to fight against pathogens invading our bodies, mature in these centres. It is through lymphatic vessels that information about these pathogens reaches the ...
