The molecular and cellular trajectories of clonal dendritic cell development

树突状细胞（dc）是一种血细胞，在我们的免疫系统中起着至关重要的作用。它们是在骨髓中由干细胞和祖细胞形成的。这些细胞如何单独产生dc是复杂而动态的。我们试图通过使用尖端技术来跟踪每个细胞在这一重要过程中的逐步作用来理解这一点。这一知识可能有助于使用dc治疗多种疾病，包括自身免疫性疾病和癌症。

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a blood cell type with a crucial role in our immune system. They are made in the bone marrow from stem and progenitor cells. How each of these cells individually makes DCs is complex and dynamic. We seek to understand this using cutting edge technologies to track each cell’s step-by-step role in this important process. This knowledge may help the use of DCs in the treatment of several diseases including autoimmunity and cancer.
