A key component of this recognition process involves dendritic cell receptors, particularly C-type lectin receptors like DC-SIGN. These receptors bind to specific carbohydrate structures ...

These receptors initiate two arms of the immune ... mast cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. These cells leave the bloodstream and take up residence in tissues throughout the body, where ...

Now, researchers from Osaka University have discovered that one receptor, called GPR31, is active in a specific type of ...

Maturation of dendritic cells. DCs express different chemokine receptors and are responsive to different chemokines at different stages of their maturation. The progenitor DCs mostly express ...

In addition to depositing in tissues and causing damage, these immune complexes can stimulate plasmacytoid dendritic cells via Toll-like receptors 7 and 9 to synthesize IFN-α. This cytokine ...

The study analyzed both immunological (receptor activation, cytokine secretion, T-cell modulation) and metabolic parameters ...

Part of the body’s natural defense system against cancer involves dendritic cells taking up tumor ... In the tumor, chronic activation yields stem–like T cells and killer T cells that express ...

The results indicate that β-glucans can target the immune system and modulate pro-inflammatory responses. Their potential to suppress allergic reactions and offer new approaches to allergy treatment ...
