Dendritic cells are divided into Type 1 (DC1) and Type 2 (DC2) dendritic cells. Each type fulfills different functions: DC1 provide an immune response to bacteria and viruses, DC2 protect against ...

Human dendrites deliver signals at a greater variation in strength than those of rats, providing a possible explanation for the difference in processing power in the two brains. A research team based ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Neurons in the human brain receive electrical signals from thousands of other cells, and long neural extensions called dendrites play a critical role in incorporating all of that ...
