A new study has revealed that a special group of cells in the intestines tamp down the immune responses caused by exposure to food proteins. Called 'tolerogenic dendritic cells,' these cells enable ...

A study led by researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) has identified a mitochondrial "checkpoint" that enables dendritic cells to efficiently activate T ...

Cancer immunotherapy is a strategy that turns the patient’s own immune cells into a “search-and-destroy” force that attacks the tumor’s cells. The “search” immune cells are the dendritic cells, which ...

Cancer immunotherapy transforms a patient’s immune cells into a “search‑and‑destroy” force against tumors. But many cancers learn to camouflage themselves from dendritic cells—the immune system’s ...

In a new study published in Science titled, “Mitochondrial metabolism and signaling direct dendritic cell function in antitumor immunity,” researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have ...

The immune system consists of inflammatory and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote or dampen immune activity, respectively. These cells react to specific antigens that specialized cells like ...

In the article that accompanies this editorial, van ‘t Land et al 24 report that additional pancreatic cancer adjuvant therapy with autologous, monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with ...

For her Ph.D. at VUB and KULeuven, Aarushi Caro created a kind of systematics for dendritic cells, a special group of immune cells in the fight against cancer. Until now, there was a lot of confusion ...

Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) has been identified as a regulator of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation in response to nucleic acids, according to a recent study. ADA2, previously known for its role ...
