Lung dendritic cells migrate to the spleen to prime long-lived TCF1 hi memory CD8 T cell precursors after influenza infection. Science Immunology , 2021; 6 (63) DOI: 10.1126/sciimmunol.abg6895 ...

The spleen also stores blood cells that the body can use in an emergency, such as severe blood loss. The spleen holds around 25–30% of the body’s red blood cells and about 25% of its platelets.

The spleen, an organ that helps the body fight infections, might also be a source of the cells that end up doing more harm than good at the site of a spinal cord injury, new research suggests.

LUCAS, L. ZHU AND M. BUCKWALTER/GLIA 2021 In a mouse spleen, glia are nestled next to nerves that are part of the sympathetic nervous system, as well as immune cells called B lymphocytes.

It's likely Taylor had had a minor spleen injury earlier on in his life — not enough to need a doctor, but enough to release spleen cells. "As far as we know, the spleen is the only organ that ...

The spleen, an organ that helps the body fight infections, might also be a source of the cells that end up doing more harm than good at the site of a spinal cord injury, new research suggests.

But those primed in the spleen generate precursors with an enhanced ability to differentiate into long-lived, stem-like memory T cells. Such memory cells are capable of a quick response to a ...

André Ballesteros-Tato, Ph.D. Ballesteros-Tato and colleagues further showed that 45 days after infection, when spleen-primed CD8+ T cells and lymph node-primed CD8+ T cells were phenotypically ...
