A blastic plasmacytoid dendritic-cell neoplasm is a rare tumor with very aggressive clinical behavior and no established treatment. 1 Available treatment options include aggressive multiagent ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have recently shown that vitamin C improves the immunogenic properties of dendritic cells, in vitro. Results recently made public show that treating the cells with vitamin C leads to a ...

Treating the brain cancer glioblastoma (GBM) demands more than conventional strategies due to a mix of factors including the cancer’s genetic complexity, invasive growth, and immune resistance. A new ...

In this article, we consider what dendritic cells (DCs) are, how they are generated, their function in the body and some medical conditions related to them. DCs are named for their distinctive ...
