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 ...

including miniature microscopes that captured single-cell resolution in live animals. The study shows that memories are stored in dendritic compartments: When one memory forms, the affected ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells are essential effectors of anti-tumor immune responses in vivo. Dendritic cells (DC) 'prime' tumor antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes ...

The immune system must be able to quickly attack invaders like viruses, while also ignoring harmless stimuli, or allergies can result. Immune cells are known to ignore or "tolerate" molecules found on ...
