Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in the maintenance of self-tolerance and altered functions of DCs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid ...

MSCs regulate many effector functions of innate immune cells, such as antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs), natural killer (NK)-cell cytotoxicity and the activation of neutrophils.

Dendritic cell CLRs interact with potential pathogens by binding to their surface carbohydrates, and this interaction is thought to function in antigen processing. It is an important step in the ...

In a new study, researchers have determined that a protein called NF-kB c-Rel can intensify the symptoms of psoriasis when activated by signals from the body's immune system. Understanding how 'c-Rel' ...

In a new study, researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have determined that a protein called NF-kB ...

The study suggests that mutations in the Usp9X gene could be a potential cause of autism. These mutations disrupt the ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...
