Overview

Dendritic cells are specialized immune cells that play a key role in the body's immune response. They detect and capture pathogens, process them, and then activate other immune cells such as T cells and B cells. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive immune systems, helping to accurately target and destroy foreign and potentially harmful cells. Due to their ability to precisely identify pathogens, dendritic cells are being studied as potential treatments for many diseases, including cancer and HIV/AIDS. In addition, research has shown that dendritic cells can be used to deliver antigens to T cells, making them attractive candidates for the development of novel vaccines.
