Funded Activity Summary

Spleen is an organ which filters blood circulating around the body and provides immune protection against blood-borne pathogens. Research into spleen development will attempt to synthesise artificial spleen tissue, leading to possible tissue replacement therapies or enhancement of immunity towards infection or cancer. Cellular development in spleen will also be investigated with a view to identifying novel white blood cell subsets that have potential for becoming new targets for immunotherapy.
