Dendritic cells star in Vancouver.
The fast-moving field of dendritic cell (DC) biology is hard to keep pace with. Here we report on advances from the recent Keystone Symposium, "Dendritic Cells at the Center of Innate and Adaptive Immunity," organized in Vancouver, BC on Feb. 1-7, 2005 by Anne O'Garra, Jacques Banchereau, and Alan Sher. New insights into the molecular mechanisms of DC function and their influence on immune regulation, their role in infectious and autoimmune disease, and new clinical applications are highlighted.
