Microbiomes
Dendritic cells are a type of immune cell that act as messengers between the innate and adaptive immune systems. They play a crucial role in capturing and presenting antigens to T cells, helping to initiate a targeted immune response against pathogens while also maintaining tolerance to self-antigens. Their strategic position in tissues and ability to migrate to lymph nodes make them essential for linking the microbiome and the immune system.
