Glucose metabolism and its role in the maturation and migration of human CD1c+ dendritic cells following exposure to BCG

IntroductionTuberculosis (TB) still kills over 1 million people annually.The only approved vaccine, BCG, prevents disseminated disease in children but shows low efficacy at preventing pulmonary TB.Myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) are promising targets for vaccines and immunotherapies to combat infectious diseases due to their essential role in linkin

BMPs regulate msx gene expression in the dorsal neuroectoderm of Drosophila and vertebrates by distinct mechanisms.

In a broad variety of bilaterian species the trunk central nervous system (CNS) derives from three primary rows of neuroblasts.The fates of these neural progenitor cells are determined in part by three conserved transcription factors: vnd/nkx2.2, ind/gsh and msh/msx in Drosophila melanogaster/vertebrates, which are expressed in corresponding non-ov
