GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)

name: dendritic cell dendrite assembly
namespace: biological_process
def: "Formation of dendrites, branched cellular projections (or cytoplasmic extension) that are extended from the surface of a dendritic immune cell, and which enable the cell to sample luminal pathogens and increase the surface area for antigen presentation to T cells." [CL:0000451, GOC:BHF, PMID:12200351]
comment: Note that dendrites of dendritic cells should not be confused with neuronal cell dendrites, which process electrical signals.
