By knocking out or beguiling dendritic cells, they slip the defenses of the immune system and sack the unsuspecting body. New research shows that one of the most common types of skin cancer has ...

The study of transcriptomic signatures, and of migratory and T cell-stimulatory properties, has unravelled the functional specialization that exists among skin antigen-presenting cell (APC) types.

Skin immunity is mediated mainly by Langerhans cells and Vγ3 T cell receptor (TCR)-expressing dendritic epidermal T cells (DETCs), which are in intimate contact with neighboring cells.

But he also says he finds it fascinating to figure out the ways dendritic cells and nociceptors work together as a neuroimmune unit in both skin and mucosal surfaces. “They just use different means to ...

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 : ...

In the new study, researchers from Yale and Michigan State University investigated how two types of these immune cells – Langerhans cells and dendritic epidermal T cells (DETCs) – interact ...

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 ...

In this article, we consider what dendritic cells (DCs) are, how they are generated ... It can affect various organs, including the skin, bones and other tissues. The disease spectrum can range from a ...

BPDCN is an aggressive type of blood cancer that originates from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), a component ... but around 80% of cases involve the skin, according to the Leukemia and ...

Dendritic cells serve as sentries of the immune system and are stationed at the body's "outposts," like the skin, where they are likely to encounter invading pathogens. When dendritic cells ...
