In Vitro 3D <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Abscess Communities Induce Bone Marrow Cells to Expand into Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells
<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> is the main causative pathogen of subcutaneous, bone, and implant-related infections, forming structures known as staphylococcal abscess communities (SACs) within tissues that also contain immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Although b...

To investigate this, a previously developed 3D in vitro SAC model was co-cultured with murine and human bone marrow cells.
