A single signaling pathway controls whether immune cells attack or befriend cells they encounter while patrolling our bodies, ...

Targeting receptors for erythropoietin on dendritic cells may be a viable strategy for treating MS and other diseases, ...

Lymphoid-derived conventional dendritic cells (L-cDCs) may play a unique function associated with immune suppression and allergy induction, as reported by researchers from Japan. Long thought to arise ...

Human intestinal M cells function as dendritic cell-like antigen-presenting cells, displaying constitutive MHC-II activity ...

Erythropoietin, the protein that drives red blood cell formation, also induces tolerance in dendritic cells, leading to the ...

Targeting receptors for erythropoietin on dendritic cells may be a viable strategy for treating MS and other diseases, ...

The immune system has evolved to mount immune responses against foreign pathogens and to remain silent against self-antigens. A balance between immunity and tolerance is required as any disturbance ...

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

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...
