Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are innate immune cells. The term cDC refers to all DCs other than plasmacytoid DCs. They reside in tissues and, following tissue infection or injury, they ...

By sensing viral nucleic acids and producing type I interferons, plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are key mediators of antiviral immunity. But pDCs might also contribute to autoimmune disease ...

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 ...

The study published in the journal ACS Nano shows that immune cell-derived extracellular vesicles, specifically those from mature bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (which are crucial for immune ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

This study provides compelling evidence that action potential (AP) broadening is not a universal feature of homeostatic plasticity in response to chronic activity deprivation. By leveraging ...
