LymphChip review paper on the interplay between lymph node extracellular matrix, fibroblasts and immune cells

maart 7, 2025

Daphne Panocha and Reina Mebius have published a review in Trends in Immunology about the complex interplay between lymph node extracellular matrix, fibroblasts and immune cells. Understanding this interplay will help the development of a human physiological lymph node-on-chip which can mimic human adaptive immune responses.
