Mechanisms and Consequences of Dendritic Cell Migration

David Alvarez, +2 more

- Vol. 29, Iss: 3, pp 325-342
TLDR
The molecular traffic signals that govern the migration of DCs throughout their life cycle are reviewed and it is shown that within peripheral tissues, DCs collect antigenic material and then traffic to secondary lymphoid organs, where they communicate with lymphocytes to orchestrate adaptive immune responses.

Lymphangiogenesis: Molecular Mechanisms and Future Promise

TL;DR: The growth of lymphatic vessels is actively involved in a number of pathological processes including tissue inflammation and tumor dissemination but is insufficient in patients suffering from lymphedema, a debilitating condition characterized by chronic tissue edema and impaired immunity.

The lymphatic vasculature in disease

TL;DR: This review highlights the most recent developments in lymphatic biology and how the lymphatic system contributes to the pathogenesis of various diseases involving immune and inflammatory responses and its role in disseminating tumor cells.

AS04, an aluminum salt- and TLR4 agonist-based adjuvant system, induces a transient localized innate immune response leading to enhanced adaptive immunity.

TL;DR: Results support a model in which the addition of MPL to aluminum salt enhances the vaccine response by rapidly triggering a local cytokine response leading to an optimal activation of APCs, and support the favorable safety profile of AS04 adjuvanted vaccines.

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.

Immunobiology of Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells with a unique ability to induce primary immune responses and may be important for the induction of immunological tolerance, as well as for the regulation of the type of T cell-mediated immune response.

Monocyte and macrophage heterogeneity

TL;DR: Recent studies have shown that monocyte heterogeneity is conserved in humans and mice, allowing dissection of its functional relevance: the different monocyte subsets seem to reflect developmental stages with distinct physiological roles, such as recruitment to inflammatory lesions or entry to normal tissues.

Getting to the site of inflammation: the leukocyte adhesion cascade updated

TL;DR: This Review focuses on new aspects of one of the central paradigms of inflammation and immunity — the leukocyte adhesion cascade.

Blood Monocytes Consist of Two Principal Subsets with Distinct Migratory Properties

TL;DR: Using a murine adoptive transfer system to probe monocyte homing and differentiation in vivo, two functional subsets among murine blood monocytes are identified: a short-lived CX(3)CR1(lo)CCR2(+)Gr1(+) subset that is actively recruited to inflamed tissues and a CX (3) CR1(hi)CCS1-dependent recruitment to noninflamed tissues.
