The immune system must be able to rapidly target invaders such as viruses while avoiding innocuous stimuli, or allergies may develop.

The immune system must be able to quickly attack invaders like viruses, while also ignoring harmless stimuli, or allergies can result. Immune cells are known to ignore or "tolerate" molecules found on ...

But this new study reveals that a special group of immune cells in the intestines, called “tolerogenic dendritic cells,” may be responsible for keeping the peace. These cells help prevent the immune ...

Tolerogenic dendritic cells in the intestines are shown to reduce the immune responses caused by exposure to food proteins.

A new study has revealed that a special group of cells in the intestines tamp down the immune responses caused by exposure to food proteins. Called 'tolerogenic dendritic cells,' these cells enable ...
