The IL-1-Like Cytokine IL-33 Is Constitutively Expressed in the Nucleus of Endothelial Cells and Epithelial Cells In Vivo : A Novel ‘Alarmin’?

TL;DR: It is speculated that IL-33 may function, similarly to the prototype ‘alarmin’ HMGB1, as an endogenous ‘danger’ signal to alert the immune system after endothelial or epithelial cell damage during trauma or infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

HEVs, lymphatics and homeostatic immune cell trafficking in lymph nodes

TL;DR: The current understanding of the functions of high endothelial venules, stroma and lymphatics in the entry, positioning and exit of immune cells in lymph nodes during homeostasis are reviewed, and the unexpected role of dendritic cells is highlighted in the control of lymphocyte homing through HEVs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic cells control lymphocyte entry to lymph nodes through high endothelial venules

TL;DR: Dendritic cells, which are well known for their role in antigen presentation to T lymphocytes, control the entry of naive lymphocytes to lymph nodes by modulating the phenotype of high endothelial venules (HEVs), which are blood vessels specialized in lymphocyte recruitment.
