GFAP and desmin expression in lymphatic tissues leads to difficulties in distinguishing between glial and stromal cells
Abstract Recently, we found many immune cells including antigen presenting cells neurally hard wired in the T-cell zone of most lymphoid organs like amongst others, lymph nodes in rats, mice and humans. Single immune cells were reached by single neurites and enclosed with a dense neural meshwork. As...
