Dendritic cells: from the fabric of immunology.
basic immunology. This is a great honour and a deeply appreciated celebration of dendritic cells (DCs). I would like to recall the early days of the field and illustrate how DC biology arose from the methods, findings and concepts of many scientists who were studying DCs as well as other topics in immunology. We all realize that immunology is an interwoven fabric of many distinct and beautiful ...
متن کاملImmunology: Dendritic Cells Pull the T Cell’s Strings
Cells communicate by sensing diffusible or surface-associated chemical signals, with the surface-associated molecules also providing mechanical cues. New work now shows that both chemical and mechanical signals are critical for the communication between T cells and antigen-presenting dendritic cells in the initiation and maintenance of immune responses.
متن کاملDendritic Cells in Transplant Tolerance
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous family of professional APCs involved in priming adaptive immune responses. Donor DCs (direct pathway of allorecognition) and recipient DCs presenting processed donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as peptides (indirect pathway of allorecognition) participate actively in graft rejection by stimulating recipient T cell responses following organ tr...
متن کاملCardiac 7-transmembrane-spanning domain receptor portfolios: diversify, diversify, diversify.
Enhanced signaling in myocytes by the G protein Gq has been implicated in cardiac hypertrophy and the transition to heart failure. alpha1-Adrenergic receptors (alpha1-ARs) are members of the 7-transmembrane-spanning domain (7-TM) receptor family and signal via interaction with Gq in the heart. The specific effects of a loss of alpha1-AR signaling in the heart are explored by O'Connell et al. in...
متن کاملBacteria diversify
Bacteria diversify nfectious bacteria often grow in their hosts as biofilms. Blaise Boles, Matthew Thoendel, and Pradeep Singh (University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA) now report that growth in biofilms causes Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria to diversify. The resultant diverse populations are probably more able to cope with changing environmental conditions, providing a bacterial correlate of the re...
