(repost, sorry ahaha)

regulatory t and nk (≧∀≦)

me pairing the baddest btches together because it just makes sense yk… but in all honesty i love them both and their interactions have so much potential I LOVE THE BOTH OF THEM SM… i would make more art of them if i wasn’t shy

CELL YURI 4 LIFE >:3

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!

Macrophage Defector

Natural killer cells are a type of immune cell that protects the body against not only invading pathogens but also cancer, providing an innate defence against these rogue cells. Some tumours, however, keep natural kill cells at bay and thereby avoid destruction. And recent research in lung tumours reveals this natural killer cell exclusion is achieved with the help of another immune cell – the macrophage. The particular culprit is a type of macrophage covered in a protein called TREM2 – an anti-inflammatory factor. Shown above is a lung tumour (green) packed with TREM2-expressing macrophages (red) that are protecting the cancer from attack. Why these macrophages switch allegiance and side with enemy is unclear, but blocking TREM2 while boosting natural killer cell activity was shown to reduce lung tumour growth in mice suggesting a similar approach might be effective in promoting tumour regression in humans too.
