Dendritic cells (DCs) participate in the pathogenesis of several diseases. We investigated DCs and the connection between mucosa and joints in a murine model of Yersinia enterocolitica O:3-induced reactive arthritis (ReA...

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and highly aggressive hematologic malignancy that commonly presents with skin involvement and may also involve the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and lymph n...

In spite of their central role in orchestrating immunity, dendritic cells (DCs) can also limit harmful reactions and promote immune tolerance by inducing T cell anergy or favoring the differentiation of T regulatory (Tre...

Abstract Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne zoonosis of major concern for human and animal health, yet no licensed human vaccine exists. Here, we engineered a self-assembling nanoparticle vaccine candidate by ge...

Background: Helja is a sunflower lectin that recognizes mannose motifs. Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by Candida spp. that affects immunocompromised individuals. This opportunistic yeast can be recognized by d...

IntroductionDNGR-1 (CLEC9A), a C-type lectin receptor specifically expressed on human BDCA3+ and murine CD8α+/CD103+ conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1), acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) recep...

BackgroundMast cells are abundant throughout the lung, positioned near the airway epithelium, vasculature, and interstitium where they function as frontline sentinels to inhaled environmental and chemical stimuli. Throug...

Ex vivo-generated antigen-loaded dendritic cells (DC) have been shown to be immunogenic in patients with cancer. Loading DC with autologous whole tumor antigens is a strategy to arm DC against tumor without human leukocy...

Abstract Hepatic Epstein-Barr virus-positive inflammatory follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (EBV+IFDCS) is an extremely rare low-grade malignant tumor. Due to its rarity and lack of specific symptoms, laboratory markers,...

Abstract Ebola viral disease, or simply Ebola is a fatal and highly contagious disease caused by the Ebolavirus. Macrophages and dendritic immune cells are the predominant target cells of Ebolavirus. In this present stud...

ObjectiveRegulatory T cells (Tregs) play an essential role in transplantation immune tolerance. Although CD4+ Tregs have been extensively studied, the contribution of CD8+ regulatory T-cell subsets to transplant toleranc...

Abstract Background Immune tolerance breakdown at the maternal-fetal interface is implicated in unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL), but the interplay between T cell hyperactivation and dendritic cells (DCs)-medi...

Dendritic cell (DC) and natural killer (NK) cell interactions are important for the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity, but their relevance during early pregnancy remains elusive. Using two different strategies t...

BackgroundNeutrophils, which are polymorphonuclear leukocytes of the phagocytic system, serve as critical mediators of inflammation-induced injury and are implicated in various diseases. However, the role of neutrophils ...

Abstract Proton-secreting cells in various organs, such as the kidney and epididymis, regulate pH balance, maintain cellular homeostasis, and support key physiological processes. More recently, these specialized cells ha...

Targeted B-cell depletion via the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab fundamentally altered the therapeutic algorithm for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite its clinical entrenchment, approximately 40% of patients ex...

The budded phenotype (BV) of the baculovirus AcMNPV has been demonstrated to have strong immunostimulatory properties that are relevant for the development of vaccines and antiviral therapies. Although the occluded pheno...

Chemokine network is central to the innate and adaptive immunity and entails a variety of proteins and membrane receptors that control physiological processes such as wound healing, angiogenesis, embryo growth and develo...

IntroductionTrogocytosis is an intracellular transfer of membrane and membrane-associated proteins in a cell–cell contact manner. Trogocytosis plays an important role in immune regulation. We hypothesized that trogocyt...

Rapid establishment of herd immunity with vaccination is effective to combat emerging infectious diseases. Although the incorporation of adjuvant and intradermal (ID) injection could augment early responses to the vaccin...

Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the dynamic changes in monocyte/macrophage- and dendritic cell (DC)-related immune activation in people with HIV (PWH) before switching to long-acting (LA) injectable caboteg...

The interplay between thyroid hormone action and the immune system has been established in physiological and pathological settings. However, their connection is complex and still not completely understood. The thyroid ho...

In non-neuronal cells, inactivation of protein kinase D (PKD) blocks fission of trans-Golgi network (TGN) transport carriers, inducing the appearance of long tubules filled with cargo. We now report on the function of PK...
