Lygenesis is the company founded to conduct the clinical development of research into the use of lymph nodes to support the growth and function of organoids. Lymph nodes are found in the lymphatic system, places where immune cells can coordinate with one another in order to produce an immune response. Mammals have more lymph nodes than they need, and so it is possible to insert small pieces of organ tissue into a few lymph nodes, transforming them into miniature organs, without harming the immune system. This can in principle work well for fa…
