Tip cell overtaking occurs as a side effect of sprouting in computational models of angiogenesis [PDF]
During angiogenesis, endothelial cells compete for the tip position during angiogenesis: a phenomenon named tip cell overtaking. It is still unclear to what extent tip cell overtaking is a side effect of sprouting or to what extent a biological function.

PULMONARY AND INTRACRANIAL RADIOGRAPHIC PRESENTATIONS OF LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS
Background. Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis is a rare disease that affects 1 to 2 adults per million worldwide and often consists of systemic manifestations including pulmonary, intracranial and osteolytic lesions and endocrinologic abnormalities such as ...

Interleukin-12 p40 secretion by cutaneous CD11c(+) and F4/80(+) cells is a major feature of the innate immune response in mice that develop Th1-mediated protective immunity to Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
Radiation-attenuated (RA) schistosome larvae are potent stimulators of innate immune responses at the skin site of exposure (pinna) that are likely to be important factors in the development of Th1-mediated protective immunity.

Langerhans cells: an update [PDF]
SummaryLangerhans cells belong to the family of dendritic cells, professional antigen‐presenting cells, and populate the skin and epithelia of mammals. It was the extensive investigation of this particular dendritic cell subpopulation in earlier days, which contributed crucially to the current understanding of the regulation of antigen processing and ...

Tractions and stress fibers control cell shape and rearrangements in collective cell migration [PDF]
Key to collective cell migration is the ability of cells to rearrange their position with respect to their neighbors. Recent theory and experiments demonstrated that cellular rearrangements are facilitated by cell shape, with cells having more elongated shapes and greater perimeters more easily sliding past their neighbors within the cell layer. Though

An improved ontological representation of dendritic cells as a paradigm for all cell types [PDF]
The Cell Ontology (CL) is designed to provide a standardized representation of cell types for data annotation. Currently, the CL employs multiple is_a relations, defining cell types in terms of histological, functional, and lineage properties, and the ...

Ultrasound-assisted diagnosis of Langerhans cell hyperplasia of the sternum: A case report
Langerhans cell hyperplasia is a group of diseases characterized by the proliferation or dissemination of the Langerhans cell, which can come in the form of localized benign lesions, or extensive disseminated invasive neoplastic lesions.

Childhood Langerhans cell histiocytosis with severe lung involvement: a nationwide cohort study
Background Lung involvement in childhood Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is infrequent and rarely life threatening, but occasionally, severe presentations are observed. Methods Among 1482 children (

Skin-derived dendritic cells acquire and degrade the scrapie agent following in vitro exposure [PDF]
The accumulation of the scrapie agent in lymphoid tissues following inoculation via the skin is critical for efficient neuroinvasion, but how the agent is initially transported from the skin to the draining lymph node is not known. Langerhans cells (LCs)

Isolation, phenotype, and allostimulatory activity of mouse liver dendritic cells [PDF]
Donor liver-derived dendritic cells (DC) have recently been identified within various lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues of organ allograft recipients, including nonimmunosuppressed mice transplanted with and permanently accepting major histocompatibility ...
