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

These vessels are surrounded by a well-sealed layer of cells and a thicker membrane of connective tissue. Consequently, migration across these barriers is more difficult for dendritic cells, and entry ...

An international research team led by the Levenberg Laboratory in the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the ...

Effects of concomitant therapies on γδ T-cell responses to zoledronate in patients with advanced prostate cancer. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract ...

Researchers have developed bioengineered lymphatic tissue that can replace missing lymph nodes, aiding in the treatment of secondary lymphedema. The rising incidence of cancer worldwide has led to an ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may ...

For many, the idea of intestinal fat absorption is not a pleasant thought. However, if you’re a biomedical researcher studying gut cells and lymphatic tissue, the need for proper lipid absorption is ...

The endothelium is a cell layer that lines the body’s blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. These cells are necessary to maintain healthy organs, tissues, and overall body function. The cells of the ...

Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract ...
