Treated recipients received either 3 mg/kg rapamycin intraperitoneally for the first 14 d after transplantation (days 0-13) and/or 0.25 mg/dose CD40L-specific ... male spleen cells into female ...

The immune system is the body’s tool for preventing or limiting infection. Its complex network of cells, organs, proteins, and tissues enables the immune system to defend the body from pathogens.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a type of an antigen-presenting cell which undertake a job on capturing antigens coming from pathogens or tumors and presenting to T cells for immune response. The metabolism ...

Low BAFF-receptor expression on B cells exiting the bone marrow may contribute to reduced peripheral B-cell survival and maturation. We included 91 patients with AAV (median age 60.78 years, IQR 51.14 ...

You, me, and all of the 108 billion or so Homo sapiens who’ve ever walked the Earth have all been our own constellation of some 30 trillion cells. Each of our bodies is a collective organism of ...

As the researchers demonstrate, dendritic cells that are marked by expression of the transcription factor RORγt—so-called RORγt + dendritic cells (DCs)—are found in many tissues. Moreover ...

As part of the innate immune system, dendritic cells are in the body's first line of defense against infections. They detect pathogens and coordinate the immune response. An international team led ...

It's made up of a complicated network of cells and organs. It protects the body from infection, cancer, and other conditions. Lymph nodes are part of the immune system. They send out lymphocytes.

Simultaneous removal of integrin β1 and α-catenin disrupts islet aggregation and the endocrine cell maturation process, demonstrating that establishment of islet aggregates is essential for functional ...
