Bone Marrow-on-a-Chip Model Offers New Window Into Immune Cell Development and Behavior
By reproducing elements of human bone marrow on a chip, scientists have created a new tool that will help them gain new insights into how immune cells develop and function. The post Bone Marrow-on-a-Chip Model Offers New Window Into Immune Cell Development and Behavior appeared first on GEN - Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News .
Scientists from Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt University have devised a laboratory model that sheds light on the complex journey of antibody-producing plasma cells within human bone marrow. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, this innovative platform integrates a lymph node organoid with a tissue chip that simulates bone marrow, enabling researchers to study vital stages of plasma cell development.
The study, published in Science Advances, details the model's design and potential implications for understanding immune cell behavior.
