      The immunological synapse (IS) is an intercellular communication platform, organized at the contact site of two adjacent cells, where at least one is an immune cell. Functional IS formation is fundamental for the modulation ...

      ObjectiveGraft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is one of the main complications after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Clinical features of GVHD include either an acute (aGVHD) or a chronic (cGVHD) condition that affects ...

      Previously, we found that human dendritic cells (hDCs) pulsed with a melanoma cell lysate (MCL) and stimulated with TNF-ce (MCL/TNF) acquire a mature phenotype in vitro and are able to trigger tumor-specific immune responses ...

      Purpose: This study characterizes, biologically and clinically, a novel type of dendritic cells (DC) produced in the short term and called tumor antigen–presenting cells (TAPCells). In particular, we identified factors ...
