Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An international research team led by Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt and Goethe ...

Trillions of microbes live in the human gastrointestinal tract, where they play critical roles in our health and biology; they can help us break down food, absorb nutrients; and they affect the immune ...

These miniature immune system models -- known as human immune organoids -- mimic the real-life environment where immune cells learn to recognize and attack harmful invaders and respond to vaccines.

To better understand why some cancer patients struggle to fight off infections, Georgia Tech researchers have created tiny lab-grown models of human immune systems. These miniature models - known as ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...

The left image shows the immune organ-on-chip, where the organoids (right) are grown to study the response of human donors. The right image shows development of types of immune cells relevant to the ...
