Figure 1: Active touch evoked large dendritic Ca 2+ signals in distal tuft branches of layer 5 pyramids. Figure 3: Dendritic Ca 2+ signals are produced by tuft plateau potentials. The GCaMP3 (ref. 11) ...

An international research team has demonstrated how conventional radiative cooling coatings can be optimized to further reduce building surface temperatures, cutting energy consumption, while also ...

The migration of dendritic cells (DCs) to lymph nodes from the periphery supports the onset of immune responses. Whereas several molecules that are required for DCs to leave the periphery have now ...

A research team led by Cancer Center at Illinois (CCIL) member Hua Wang has published new research detailing a new mRNA cancer vaccine platform. The study introduces an immune cell homing ...

Past neuroscience studies suggest that memories of events that occurred at short time intervals from one another are often connected, via a process referred to as memory linking. While memory linking ...

Cancer immunotherapy is a strategy that turns the patient’s own immune cells into a “search-and-destroy” force that attacks the tumor’s cells. The “search” immune cells are the dendritic cells, which ...

Cytotoxic function of human natural killer cells is transiently inhibited by transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract ...

In its response to pathogens and vaccines, our immune system relies on dendritic cells. These white blood cells patrol the body’s tissues, collect components of pathogens and vaccines and transport ...

A 29-year-old man presented with progressive skin lesions on the face, back, trunk, and limbs. Biopsy was performed, and a diagnosis of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic-cell neoplasm was made.
