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 Tumor Microenvironment Innately Modulates Cancer Progression

TL;DR: Cross-talk between cancer cells and the proximal immune cells ultimately results in an environment that fosters tumor growth and metastasis, and understanding the nature of this dialog will allow for improved therapeutics that simultaneously target multiple components of the TME, increasing the likelihood of favorable patient outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic cell-based immunotherapy

TL;DR: What has been learned thus far about human DC biology from clinical studies are discussed, and how current approaches to apply DC vaccines in the clinic could be improved to enhance anti-tumor immunity are discussed.

Differentiation of Monocytes into Dendritic Cells in a Model of Transendothelial Trafficking

TL;DR: Monocytes cultured with endothelium differentiated into dendritic cells within 2 days, particularly after phagocytosing particles in subendothelial collagen, and migrated across the endot Helium in the ablumenal-to-lumenal direction, as would occur during entry into lymphatics.

Superior antigen cross-presentation and XCR1 expression define human CD11c+CD141+ cells as homologues of mouse CD8+ dendritic cells

TL;DR: It is shown that CD141+ DCs are the only cells in human blood that express the chemokine receptor XCR1 and respond to the specific ligand XCL1 by Ca2+ mobilization and potent chemotaxis and defined as professional antigen cross-presenting DCs in the human.

Characterization of human blood dendritic cell subsets.

TL;DR: The poor viability of CD123(-) DCs in vitro was confirmed, but the CD16(+) CD11c(+) DC subset also survived poorly, and these data provide an opportunity to standardize the DC populations used for future molecular, functional and possibly even therapeutic studies.
