Abstract

Lymphocytes continuously patrol the secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) of mammals in search for their cognate antigens. SLOs are composed of leucocytes (~95%) and lymphoid stromal cells (~5%) that form the structural framework of these organs. These sessile cells have been considered for decades as inert elements of the immune system. This simplistic view has dramatically changed in recent years, when it was discovered that these architectural cells are endowed with immuno-regulatory functions. Lymph nodes (LNs) are located at the interface between the blood and lymphatic systems, thus allowing tissue-derived antigen/antigen presenting cells (APCs) to gather with blood-derived lymphocytes. As a typical LN contains ~10 million of tightly packed cells, this accumulation of immune cells and information is probably not sufficient to foster the rare cellular interactions mandatory to the initiation of adaptative immune responses. Herein, I review some of the physicochemical elements of stromal cells that are used to transport and guide immune cells and soluble molecules within LNs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 July 2021.
All research outputs
#8,262,445
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in immunology
#10,114
of 31,520 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#70,773
of 250,100 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in immunology
#62
of 275 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 31,520 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 250,100 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 275 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
