Wednesday, November 6, 2024 New Organoid Model to Predict B Cell Responses Colorized scanning electron micrograph of a B cell from a human donor. (Credit: NIAID) NIAID-funded scientists developed a system of organoids—lab-grown, miniature organ mimics—that can model activity in immune cells called B cells. The organoids were able to produce antibodies in response to influenza vaccines and act as a model for B cell-related disorders. According to the researchers, the organoids could be used to predict immune responses in healthy people and people with weakened immune systems. The findings were published in Nature Materials.
