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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
