The Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination. It resides at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways. It is of particular importance in processing proteins for secretion, containing a set of glycosylation enzymes that attach various sugar monomers to proteins as the proteins move through the apparatus.

A dendritic cell (DC) is an antigen-presenting cell (also known as an accessory cell) of the mammalian immune system. A DC's main function is to process antigen material and present it on the cell surface to the T cells of the immune system. They act as messengers between the innate and adaptive immune systems.

Anti-cancer Courier

A virus-like particle engineered to deliver cancer-specific antigens [molecule, complex or fragment with potential trigger an immune response] to dendritic cells of the immune system which will in turn activate an attack by T cells on the tumour

The role of dendritic cells in COVID-19 infection

Dendritic cells functions

Dendritic cells origin and functions. T-Lymphocytes and Dendritic cells are cells which form an adaptive immune system. Dendritic cells are white blood cells. Dendritic cells are lymphocytes. They originate from bone marrow lymphatic stem cells. Dendritic cells functions: Dendritic cells analyse pathogens or infection and present the information to B Cells in chemical signals and through serface…

In the neuron, a protective covering called myelin insulates the axon and increases the speed of electrical communication along the length of the neuron

Watched a little Cells at Work and so here's my fave ❤

Synaps! (He/Him)

He’s the boss of my white blood cell ocs. He’s a tyrannical dendritic cell who hates disappointment.

He uses electric shocks for communicating orders and attacks.

Covid damages our immune system. It supresses our immune response to bacteria. F#$k.

Made the mistake of re-watching Cells at Work and he grabbed me by the throat.

Nuclear Warp

Dendritic cells migrate to lymph nodes ('lymph glands') with pieces or antigens of an invading pathogen to activate T cells there into mounting an immune response. This study reveals how, and the factors controlling, the dendritic cell nucleus deforms to enable migration between cells and the extracellular matrix

Love this animal. The T. Rex

[Start ID: colored and shaded digital drawing of Regulatory T Cell. She has her canon green suit and skirt, though the leggings are less yellow, or so-called “baby puke colored” now. Her membrane has light brown eyemask-like patterns, and her blonde hair/flagella are mostly canon as well, except her hair coils by her shoulders are twisted around each other like DNA strands. She also has plain shoes instead of high heels, and a discrete headset with an antenna by her left ear. She’s adjusting said headset with one arm, and her other is wrapped around an iPad. It’s noted that she has the same basic features as KTs and HTs, including pointed ears, a skinny tail with retractable stingers, brown markings, and the same quick-punch reflexes as KTs. Back to her stingers, the bigger one secretes purple perforin for apoptosis and the smaller one blue adenosine for temporary paralysis. In the bottom corner is a low-opacity meme of an enterocyte character with the sad SpongeBob face and Impact text that says “me when my wife gets arrested (she is a criminal and completely deserves it) and a watermark in the other corner. There is also a reference of RT’s canon design and notes about how ���I do love the rest of her outfit fit though. We Stan green here.”End ID.]

the immune system but they are weird and unusual marine animals that swim through blood

size here along with Den without the shadow thing ↓

Macrophage is 30m in length

Dendritic cell's full body is also 30m length (he is 6.09 in diameter in front)

Helper T and Neutrophil are both around 2.45m in length

B cell is 2m in length

NK cell is 3m in length

Monocyte is 4.3m in length

The Complement system would usually be around >2 inches

oh yeah,Den without the shadow thing

feel free to consider these fella's as my immune system's cell form

DC's appearance is inspired by _crim_reaper on twitter!
