Graphical Abstract Patient-specific iPS cells with JAK2 V617F mutation differentiate into DC3 dendritic cells, megakaryocytes and red blood cells.

The second touch hypothesis states that T cell activation, proliferation, induction of homing receptors and polarization are distinguishable and, at least in part, sequential. The second touch hypothesis maintains that full T cell polarization requires T cell interaction with antigen-presenting cells (DCs, macrophages, B cells and certain activated stromal cells) in the non-lymphoid tissue wher...

The prominent display of opsonized antigen by follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) has long favored the view that they serve as antigen-presenting cells for B cells. Surprisingly, however, although B cell capture of antigen from macrophages and dendritic cells has been visualized, acquisition from FDCs has not been directly observed. Using two-photon microscopy, we visualized B cell capture of cog...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of poor prognosis hematological malignancies characterized by heterogeneous clonal expansion of myeloid progenitors. Leukemic stem cells are thought to form the majority of a cell population in minimal residual diseases (MRDs) which are resistant to current chemotherapeutic regimens and mediate disease relapse. Current therapeutic vaccine strategies have d...

T-cells are part of our adaptive immune system and responsible for recognition antigens in bodies. T-cell activation is triggered upon binding receptor (TCR) to major histocompatibility complex loaded with antigenic peptide (pMHC) which presented on the surface antigen presenting cells (APC). According kinetic segregation model activation, topography plays a large role process. In this study we...
