Dendritic Cells: Biophysics, Tumor Microenvironment and Chinese Traditional Medicine by Zhu Zeng, Xiaofeng Xu, Dan Chen. - 1st ed. 2015. - Dordrecht, Netherlands Springer 2015 - 1 recurso en línea (VII, 66 páginas) 40 ilustraciones, 28 ilustraciones en color - SpringerBriefs in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 2211-9353 .
Summary -- Introduction.-Â measurement protocols of cell biophysical characteristics -- Biophysical characteristics of dendritic cells at different differentiation stages -- Biophysical characteristics of dendritic cells in tumor microenvironment -- Effects of Chinese traditional herbs on dendritic cells -- Future perspectives.
In this book, the authors discuss the biophysical characteristics of Dendritic cells (DCs) at various differentiation stages and in tumor microenvironments in detail. A type of Chinese traditional herb, which can improve the biophysical and microrheological properties of DCs, is also introduced. DCs are potent and specialized antigen-presenting cells that play a crucial role in initiating and amplifying both the innate and adaptive immune responses. The biophysical and microrheological characteristics of DCs are important for their motility and normal immune function. In tumor microenvironments, the motility and immune functions of DCs are impaired, but the mechanisms are largely unknown. This book offers researchers a comprehensive and deep insight into the biophysical characteristics of DCs and may also help to improve the efficiency ofÂi-tumor therapy based on DCs. Â Â
