Dendritic cell receptors, in particular C‐type lectins such as DC-SIGN, play a pivotal role in the immune response by recognising and internalising diverse glycan structures present on pathogens. The ...

FRANKFURT. The specific or acquired immune system of vertebrates is a powerful weapon against pathogens and pathologically altered body cells. Here, T cells play a special role. After activation, they ...

As part of the immune system, dendritic cells are essential for fighting body cells that have degenerated or are infected with a virus. They trigger an immune response by presenting protein fragments, ...

Therapeutic cancer vaccines have experienced a remarkable resurgence over the past decade, representing a paradigm shift in oncology toward harnessing the immune system's intrinsic ability to combat ...

This study offers a valuable advance for neuroscience by extending a visualization tool that enables intuitive assessment of how dendritic and synaptic currents shape the output of neurons. The ...

Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a transcription factor activated downstream of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 7, 8 and 9, and is predominantly expressed in dendritic cells, B cells, monocytes and ...

Background Globally, an estimated 296 million individuals live with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, carrying ...
