Abstract
Recent advances in immunotherapy have underscored the potential of harnessing the immune system to treat disorders associated with immune dysregulation, such as primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, cancer, transplantation rejection, and aging. Owing to the cellular and structural complexity and the dynamic nature of immune responses, engineering immune organoids that replicate the function and key features of their corresponding immune organs continues to be a formidable challenge. In this overview, we will discuss the recent progress in bioengineering organoids of key primary and secondary immune organs and tissues, focusing particularly on their contributions to the host’s immune system in animal models and highlighting their potential roles in regenerative medicine.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Genetics and Development aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.
In Current Opinion in Genetics and Development we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form.
2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.[...]
The subject of Genetics and Development is divided into six themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year:
• Cancer Genomics
• Genome Architecture and Expression
• Molecular and genetic basis of disease
• Developmental mechanisms, patterning and evolution
• Cell reprogramming, regeneration and repair
• Genetics of Human Origin / Evolutionary genetics (alternate years)
