MHC class II molecules are central to the adaptive immune response, serving as the means by which antigen-presenting cells, notably dendritic cells, display processed peptides to CD4+ T cells. This ...

Potential autoimmune diseases therapies that target dendritic cells aim to either inhibit immunogenic dendritic cell functions or support their tolerogenic potential (Figure 2). Most strategies ...

Neurons in the brain communicate with each other through synapses—connection points that allow the passage of electrical and ...

DNTH212 is a bifunctional fusion protein targeting plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) BDCA2 to reduce Type 1 interferon production, while ...

Neurons produced from frontotemporal dementia patients' skin biopsies using modern stem cell technology recapitulate the ...

Neurons produced from dementia patients' skin biopsies using stem cell technology recapitulate their synaptic dysfunction.

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.
