TLDR
Comparative studies are now allowing many of these properties of Dendritic cells to be more fully understood in the context of human immunology.
Abstract
Dendritic cells are highly adapted to their role of presenting antigen and directing immune responses. Developmental studies indicate that DCs originate independently from monocytes and tissue macrophages. Emerging evidence also suggests that distinct subsets of DCs have intrinsic differences that lead to functional specialisation in the generation of immunity. Comparative studies are now allowing many of these properties to be more fully understood in the context of human immunology.

The regulation of dendritic cell maturation and survival by tumour necrosis factor receptors 1 and 2

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of the determinants of infectious disease in eight operation theatres and shows clear trends in the number of cases where use of antibiotics and other antibiotics are prescribed.

CellO: Comprehensive and hierarchical cell type classification of human cells with the Cell Ontology

TL;DR: This work presents CellO, a machine learning-based tool for annotating human RNA-seq data with the Cell Ontology that enables accurate and standardized cell type classification by considering the rich hierarchical structure of known cell types, a source of prior knowledge that is not utilized by existing methods.

Airway dendritic cell maturation in children exposed to air pollution.

TL;DR: The data reveal that children attending schools in the highest areas of PM exposure in London exhibit increased numbers of “mature” airway DCs, as evidenced by their expression of the surface marker CD86, supportive of previous in vitro data demonstrating an alteration in the maturation of airway cDCs in response to exposure to pollutants.

Effect of chronic morphine administration on circulating dendritic cells in SIV-infected rhesus macaques.

TL;DR: Results show that chronic morphine induces a significant alteration in the available circulating levels of critical antigen-presenting cells, and morphine treatment attenuated this mDC expansion in SIV-infected animals.

The nature of the principal type 1 interferon-producing cells in human blood.

TL;DR: Purified IPCs are here shown to be the CD4(+)CD11c- type 2 dendritic cell precursors (pDC2s), which produce 200 to 1000 times more IFN than other blood cells after microbial challenge and are thus an effector cell type of the immune system, critical for antiviral and antitumor immune responses.

Proliferating dendritic cell progenitors in human blood.

TL;DR: Large numbers of DC progenitors are observed in cord blood and in adult blood from healthy donors, which should facilitate future studies of their Fc epsilon RI and CD4 receptors, and their use in stimulating T cell-mediated resistance to viruses and tumors.

Reciprocal Control of T Helper Cell and Dendritic Cell Differentiation

TL;DR: A negative feedback loop from the mature T helper cells may selectively inhibit prolonged TH1 or TH2 responses by regulating survival of the appropriate dendritic cell subset.

Plasmacytoid monocytes migrate to inflamed lymph nodes and produce large amounts of type I interferon.

TL;DR: Results, with the distinct cell phenotype, indicate that plasmacytoid monocytes represent a specialized cell lineage that enters inflamed lymph nodes at high endothelial venules, where it produces type I interferon.
