Abstract

The last several decades have brought significant immunologic advances in the fields of inflammation, infection, and transplantation tolerance. Heretofore, our understanding of how complex immune interactions occur has been limited to static in situ tissue analysis and in vitro dynamic studies using isolated cells devoid of stromal elements typically present in vivo. Recent advances in molecular, flow cytometry, and intravital imaging have provided new insight into the dynamic interactions occurring among a variety of cells within the bone marrow (BM) and immune systems, ranging from undifferentiated hematopoietic progenitors to fully committed effector memory cells, which will likely have direct clinical and translational implications. In this review we highlight how the application of these cutting-edge technologies will sculpt the landscape of the next generation of immunologic advances.
