Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for the onset of adaptive immunity. Their outstanding migratory capacities in combination with their antigen presenting properties make them perfectly suited to pick up antigens in the periphery and transport them to the l ...
Dendritic cell (DC) homing to the lymphatics and positioning within the lymph node is important for adaptive immunity, and is regulated by gradients of CCL19 and CCL21, ligands for CCR7. Despite the importance of DC chemotaxis, it is not well understood ho ...
The current state-of-art in 3D microfluidic chemotaxis device (mu FCD) is limited by the inherent coupling of the fluid flow and chemical concentration gradients. Here, we present an agarose-based 3D mu FCD that decouples these two important parameters, in ...
The migration of cells such as leukocytes, tumor cells, and fibroblasts through 3D matrices is critical for regulating homeostasis and immunity and for driving pathogenesis. Interstitial flow through the extracellular matrix, which can substantially increa ...
