Example Sentences
Recent Examples on the Web As soon as the DNA or mRNA is inside the dendritic or tissue cells, the cells use the instructions to create spike proteins. 
Glenn J Rapsinski, The Conversation, 30 Aug. 2021 The method — previously used for flu and rabies vaccines — produces an immune response due to dendritic cells which are found in the skin. Jen Juneau, Peoplemag, 11 Aug. 2022 These cells, called dendritic cells, are better able to produce an immune response, Griffin said. Jeremy Diamond, CNN, 9 Aug. 2022 They have also been shown to increase the density of dendritic spines — small protrusions found on nerve cells — in turn spurring the growth of neuronal connections that can be lost in cases of chronic stress or depression. Steve Volk, Rolling Stone, 22 June 2022 Monocytes can also differentiate into two other types of immune cells: phagocytes, which engulf and destroy microbes, and dendritic cells, which present T cells with antigens to help stimulate a more specific immune response. William A. Haseltine, Forbes, 16 June 2022 The rock is remarkable for its numerous dendritic structures, which are exposed in cross section and longitudinally. David W. Frayer, Scientific American, 1 Feb. 2022 This layer houses the majority of the innate and adaptive immune cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, B and T cells, and also innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). William A. Haseltine, Forbes, 25 Mar. 2022 Back in 2003, a trio of neuroscientists showed that the dendritic trees of a pyramidal neuron perform complex computations by modeling it as a two-layer artificial neural network.
