					<description><![CDATA[A hidden world inside human bone marrow is coming into focus thanks to a breakthrough collaboration between Krishnendu Roy, Bruce and Bridgitt Evans Dean of Engineering and University Distinguished Professor, and Ankur Singh, Carl Ring Family Professor at Georgia Tech. Using a sophisticated bone marrow-on-a-chip system, researchers directly observed the antibody-producing plasma cells that help vaccines provide long-lasting protection. The study revealed that these cells actively seek specialized survival niches rather than remaining stationary. The discovery could reshape understanding of immunity, aging, autoimmune disease, cancer and vaccine durability while opening new avenues for therapeutic research.]]></description>
