Preserving neural function under extreme scaling [PDF]
, 2013 Important brain functions need to be conserved throughout organisms of extremely varying sizes. Here we study the scaling properties of an essential component of computation in the brain: the single neuron. We compare morphology and signal propagation of

Harnessing the Complete Repertoire of Conventional Dendritic Cell Functions for Cancer Immunotherapy
Pharmaceutics, 2020 The onset of checkpoint inhibition revolutionized the treatment of cancer. However, studies from the last decade suggested that the sole enhancement of T cell functionality might not suffice to fight malignancies in all individuals. Dendritic cells (DCs)

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2005 Dendritic cells (DC) have been implicated in the defective function of the immune system during cancer progression. We have demonstrated that patients with cancer have fewer myeloid (CD11c+) and plasmacytoid (CD123hi) DC and a concurrent accumulation of ...

Dendritic cells in plasmodium infection [PDF]
, 2008 Infection with Plasmodium parasites (malaria) contributes greatly to morbidity and mortality in affected areas. Interaction of the protozoan with the immune system has a critical role in the pathogenesis of the disease, but may also hold a key to ...

CD83: Activation Marker for Antigen Presenting Cells and Its Therapeutic Potential
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 CD83 is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is expressed in membrane bound or soluble forms. Membrane CD83 (mCD83) can be detected on a variety of activated immune cells, although it is most highly and stably expressed by mature dendritic

CD300f epitopes are specific targets for acute myeloid leukemia with monocytic differentiation
Molecular Oncology, 2019 Antibody‐based therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has been marred by significant hematologic toxicity due to targeting of both hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs).

Moving on From Sipuleucel-T: New Dendritic Cell Vaccine Strategies for Prostate Cancer
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Tumors evade the immune system though a myriad of mechanisms. Using checkpoint inhibitors to help reprime T cells to recognize tumor has had great success in malignancies including melanoma, lung, and renal cell carcinoma.

The B subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin alters the development and antigen-presenting capacity of dendritic cells [PDF]
, 2015 Escherichia coli’s heat-labile enterotoxin (Etx) and its non-toxic B subunit (EtxB) have been characterized as adjuvants capable of enhancing T cell responses to co-administered antigen.
