With her team, ETH Professor Halin has now discovered that dendritic cells can take a shortcut. In studies performed on mouse tissues and employing microscopy, the scientists were able to show that ...

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are a subset of dendritic cells. They resemble plasma cells when viewed under a microscope and are distinct from conventional dendritic cells in terms of their ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...

A dysregulated and weak immune system can affect the severity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The function and regenerative ability of dendritic cells (DC) ...

Exponential signal amplification is achieved when a single molecule of analyte initiates a chain reaction in which a dendrimer releases a coloured 'reporter' molecule, and ultimately four further ...

A blastic plasmacytoid dendritic-cell neoplasm is a rare tumor with very aggressive clinical behavior and no established treatment. 1 Available treatment options include aggressive multiagent ...

A new study finds that retaining memories is maintained by the quality — not quantity — of dendritic spines, which are part of brain neurons. Experts used to think that memory loss was due to loss in ...
