Dendritic Cell Migration and Traction Force Generation in Engineered Microenvironments
Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent initiators of the adaptive immune response. Their trafficking from sites of inflammation to lymphoid tissue is essential to their function. Exactly how dendritic cells integrate multiple chemotactic cues to organize an accurate migratory path is not fully …

An investigation of how dendritic cell migration is modulated during Leishmania mexicana infection
The functional migration of immune cells during Leishmania infection is imperative for the activation of a protective immune response. In particular, migration of dendritic cells (DCs) towards the lymphatic vessel network and CCL19-producing lymph node is a key step in the induction of adaptive …

The role of the atypical chemokine receptor CCX-CKR in thymocyte development and its influence on the link between innate and adaptive immunity through regulation of dendritic cell migration.
The significance of chemokines in directing cell migration both during homeostasis and immune responses has been appreciated for some time. However, the mechanisms in place to post-translationally regulate cell migration through chemokine modulation are only recently becoming clear. CCX-CKR is a …

Estudo do papel do lpg2 na migração de células dendríticas infectadas por Leishmania infantum
… forms. The dissemination and homing of infected cells containing Leishmania antigens are critical for the parasite's survival in the host and for lesion establishment. In addition to host factors, intrinsic factors of the parasite are important for maintaining infection in the host. Recent …

Engineering chemoattractant gradients using controlled release polysaccharide microspheres
… gradients developed around single source cells in controlling chemotaxis of "receiving" cells would not only greatly advance our understanding of the basic mechanisms of cell chemotaxis but also would inform strategies for modulating chemoattractant gradients in therapeutic applications, …

CANNABINOID RECEPTOR 2 AGONIST REDUCES IMMUNE CELL MIGRATION IN NEUROINFLAMMATION VIA INHIBITION OF MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-9
… of inflammatory mediators and peripheral immune cell infiltration into the site of inflammation. Previous studies from our laboratories demonstrated that administration of cannabinoid type 2 receptor agonist attenuated disease score and improved recovery in two murine models of neuroinflammation; …

TREM-2 and Dendritic Cells in the Pathogenesis of Allergic Airway Inflammation
… characterized by reversible airway obstruction, cellular infiltration, airway inflammation and airway remodeling. Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells that initiate the asthmatic inflammatory response by capturing inhaled antigens and migrating to the lymph nodes to …
