Antigens are a critical part of the immune system; they are present on many types of cells, and can be made of proteins, lipids, sugars, and ... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

To move forward or migrate, the different cells in our body must exert forces or interact with their surrounding environment. Interestingly, however, a fault in these interactions can also be the ...

Researchers at Kobe University discovered an entirely new and unexpected mechanism by which the immune system can get rid of cells lacking molecules that identify them as part of the self in mice. The ...

Nanovials are emerging as an accessible platform for performing single-cell functional screening leveraging standard instrumentation, such as flow cytometers and microfluidic single-cell sequencing ...

Basal cell carcinoma has low immunogenicity. Tumor cells express Foxc1 protein (red), which suppresses HLA class I (green) in the tumor cells. Compromised antigen presentation ranks among the top ...

New evidence shows that human M cells act as fully fledged antigen-presenting cells, processing and presenting gluten peptides through a dendritic cell-like pathway that may shape early coeliac ...

Researchers suggest modulating intestinal microbiota or antigen-presenting activity of IECs represents new approaches to treating autoimmune neurological disease.

The cells that line the inside of the gut may play a key role in triggering inflammation that drives MS, a study found.
