AI Thread Summary
Dendritic cells and follicular dendritic cells serve distinct roles in the immune system. Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells found in peripheral tissues, crucial for initiating immune responses. In contrast, follicular dendritic cells reside primarily in lymphoid follicles and are involved in B cell activation and antibody production. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity on the definitions and locations of these cells within peripheral tissues. Understanding these differences is essential for comprehending their functions in immune responses.

What is the difference between dendritic cells and FOLLULAR dendritic cells?

where are these found in the periheral tissues?


thanks

FOLLICULAR i mean
 
Wiki had an article that sounded right to me.

Note that our guidelines require you to show some of your own effort before you can receive help. So:
Can you describe what either one is? Then we can help you find the differences.
What is meant by "peripheral" tissues? What would the other type of tissues be?

If you can start out by answering these questions, we can move along from there.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
