A new look at dendritic cell interactions in the lung

Hot topics
Chairs: T. Tetley (London, United Kingdom), B. Lambrecht (Laarne, Netherlands)
Aims: The aim of this session is to present some of the latest discoveries in dendritic cell biology, particularly the role of dendritic“lung cell interactions in orchestrating dendritic cell behaviour, how dendritic cell subsets may influence lung responses and homeostasis and the possible therapeutic advantages of controlling dendritic cell function.
