Dendritic cells and the extracellular matrix: A challenge for maintaining tolerance/homeostasis

Figure 3 Scanning electron microscope images demonstrate that dendritic cells cultured on fibronectin or laminin for 48 h exhibit widely differential morphologies. Taken in part from García-Nieto S, Johal RK, Shakesheff KM, Emara M, Royer PJ, Chau DY, Shakib F, Ghaemmaghami AM. Laminin and fibronectin treatment leads to generation of dendritic cells with superior endocytic capacity. PLoS One 2010; 5: e10123.
