Summary:
A new type of cell that generates crucial cells of the immune system has been discovered at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute. With this new finding will enable medical researchers to begin to consider the development of customized immune therapies using this new cell to target specific infections such as HIV, malaria and influenza; certain cancers; and even autoimmune diseases.
Commentary: Hopefully this discovery will eventually lead to the development of treatments for cellular diseases using dendritic cell applications.
