The model functions like a lymph node-on-a-chip, recreating aspects of the human lymph node environment - including fluid flow and cellular interactions - to study immune behavior outside the body.

The lymph node stroma model offers a platform to test complex fluid flow and retention of T cells, which support the immune system and fight disease.
