Dendritic cells are the sentinels of the immune system. When they're alert and on guard, they will marshal the body's immunosoldiers, T cells, to battle at the sight of harmful pathogens. But some ...

S kin shields our bodies from the world’s dangers, but sometimes, with a nick or a bump, that barrier is breached. That’s when pain- and itch-sensing nociceptor neurons jump to action, transmitting ...

The skin is the body’s first line of defense against infection, and new research has brought us closer to understanding how it works. Researchers at Yale have identified how immune cells spread ...

Skin-Resident Murine Dendritic Cell Subsets Promote Distinct and Opposing Antigen-Specific T Helper Cell Responses. Immunity , 2011; DOI: 10.1016/j.immuni.2011.06.005 Cite This Page : ...

Sepsis-induced immune dysfunction is a major contributor to high mortality rates in septic patients. Recent findings shed light on the role of ...

It can affect various organs, including the skin, bones and other tissues. The disease spectrum can range from a localized, self-limiting form to a more severe, disseminated form. 12; Dendritic cell ...

Dendritic cells are mainly found in tissue that has contact with the outside environment such as the skin and the lining of the nose, lungs, stomach and intestines. The cells are also found in an ...

More information on the study, “Single-cell analysis of human skin identifies CD14+ type 3 dendritic cells co-producing IL1B and IL23A in psoriasis” can be found from the team’s published ...

Advanced imaging technologies are uncovering surprising roles for CD8+ T cells—not just in immune defense, but also in supporting tissue repair and regeneration.

LMU researchers have shown that a particular type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought—with the potential for new therapeutic approaches.
