Dendritic cell ontogeny.

Medical Research Institute, Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital, Cooperstown, New York 13326.

Published: April 1990

Abundant evidence indicates that dendritic cells arise from the bone marrow. In vitro, precursors that differ phenotypically from mature dendritic cells divide several times to form functional dendritic cells. A soluble factor(s) produced in the supernatants of ConA-stimulated spleen cells enhances the production of dendritic cells. This factor(s) has not been fully characterized. Further maturation of dendritic cells occurs after they are released from the bone marrow; species differences exist. Interrelationships between various types of dendritic cells need to be elucidated.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but aggressive and potentially lethal hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by pathologic immune activation and excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines leading to tissue damage and multisystem organ failure. There is an urgent need for the discovery of novel targets and development of therapeutic strategies to treat this rare but deadly syndrome. Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) mediates T cell-based inflammatory responses, making it a potential actionable target for the treatment of HLH.

Metabolic syndrome and its effect on immune cells in apical periodontitis- a narrative review.

Clin Oral Investig

January 2025

Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, 124 Edward Street, Toronto, ON, M5G 1G6, Canada.

Objectives: Apical periodontitis (AP) is an inflammatory immune response in periapical tissues caused by microbial infections. Failure of root canal treatment or delayed healing is often due to intracanal or extra-radicular bacteria. However, beyond microbial factors, the patient's systemic health can significantly influence the progression and healing of AP.

Neutrophils were historically considered a homogenous population of cells with functions limited to innate immunity against external threats. However, with the rise of immunotherapy, recent works have shown that neutrophils are also important actors in immuno-oncology. In this context, neutrophils appear as a more heterogenous population of cells.
