For her Ph.D. at VUB and KULeuven, Aarushi Caro created a kind of systematics for dendritic cells, a special group of immune cells in the fight against cancer. Until now, there was a lot of confusion ...

Dendritic cells alter the chemokine gradient they follow to direct themselves to the lymph nodes. An immune response is an impressive feat of collective migration involving many cell types and ...

Pelareorep treatment drives coordinated immune activation and tertiary lymphoid structure formation Translational data suggest potential to boost ...

DOC1021 is a first-in-class, patient-derived double-loaded dendritic cell therapy that combines tumor lysate and amplified tumor-derived mRNA. The immunotherapy is made with a patient's dendritic ...

As part of the immune system, dendritic cells are essential for fighting body cells that have degenerated or are infected with a virus. They trigger an immune response by presenting protein fragments, ...

Dendritic cells can be used to predict the course of cancer: the more of them there are in a tumor, the better the prospects for the patient. The cells of the immune system circulate primarily in the ...
