Scientists at the Pasteur Institute in France say they have developed artificial lymphoid organ-chips that recreate much of the human immune system’s response to booster vaccines. The technology, ...
Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are ectopic cellular hubs that coordinate immunity within patient tumors. TLS also correlate with improved prognosis and superior response to immunotherapy. While ...
Rice University's SynthX Center, directed by Han Xiao, has received an up to five-year, $18 million award from the Advanced ...
A recent Nature Immunology study explores the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during viral infection. Lymphoid tissues play a vital role in ...
For many people, getting their tonsils removed is a childhood memory: a sore throat, a surgery, some ice cream, and skipping school. More than half a million people undergo tonsillectomies each year ...
The lymphoid organ-chips are created by embedding peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) within an extracellular matrix (ECM), which can then be exposed to viral antigens to mimic the effects of ...
