The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are a subset of dendritic cells. They resemble plasma cells when viewed under a microscope and are distinct from conventional dendritic cells in terms of their ...

With her team, ETH Professor Halin has now discovered that dendritic cells can take a shortcut. In studies performed on mouse tissues and employing microscopy, the scientists were able to show that ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...

A new study finds that retaining memories is maintained by the quality — not quantity — of dendritic spines, which are part of brain neurons. Experts used to think that memory loss was due to loss in ...

A dysregulated and weak immune system can affect the severity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The function and regenerative ability of dendritic cells (DC) ...

Using retrospective clinical data and in-depth lab studies, researchers have discovered that vitamin E can enhance immunotherapy responses by stimulating dendritic cells in the tumor. Combining a ...
