The non-hematopoietic stromal cells create the microenvironment in which the immune system operates, providing an architectural landscape for hematopoietic cell-cell interactions and molecular cues governing haematopoietic cell positioning, growth and survival. Not surprisingly, therefore, aberrant stromal cell function has recently been shown to play a key role in the development of disease pathologies associated with immune dysfunction. For example, remodelling of lymphoid tissue stroma and the development of ectopic tertiary lymphoid tissues are characteristic of many infectious and inflammatory diseases and stromal cells have a recognised role in lymphoma and tumour development and resistance to therapy. An increased understanding of the molecular basis of stromal cell differentiation and function in these varied contexts will provide new tools to promote research on stromal cell biology and immune dysfunction, and potential new targets for therapeutic intervention in diseases with a major impact on public health. The importance of stromal cells and the molecular mechanisms of stromal cell function in the regulation of immune responses have only recently been appreciated and thus represent an exciting new area in immunology. 606 $aClinical Immunology$2HILCC 606 $aMedicine$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 610 $adevelopment 610 $aendothelial cells 610 $alymphoid tissue 610 $ainflammation 610 $afibroblast reticular cells 615 7$aClinical Immunology 615 7$aMedicine 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 676 $a616.97 700 $aMark Christopher Coles$4auth$01364867 702 $aKaye$b Paul 702 $aMueller$b Christopher G 702 $aColes$b Mark C 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910137235403321 996 $aEmerging immune functions of non-hematopoietic stromal cells$93386310 997 $aUNINA
