Antigen-presenting Cell-mimetic Scaffolds (IMAGE)
Caption
The left image shows a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a basic scaffold made of many tiny mesoporous silica rods (MSRs) before they are coated with a thin supported lipid bilayer (SLB) with the incorporated T cell-stimulating cues. In the right SEM image, T cells (in blue) bind to a section of a completed antigen-presenting cell-mimetic scaffold (in brown), where they are instructed to multiply and are kept alive for future use in T cell therapies.
