Abstract excerpt
The highly ordered structure in peripheral lymphoid tissues is maintained by continuous interactions between their hemopoietic and stromal components. The main reticular cell type, fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) emerged as a considerably heterogeneous group of the stroma. These cells have diverse roles beyond architectural scaffolding. Their functions include the formation of nests for recirculating...
