The thymus is a soft gland with two lobes. Each lobe has a central par, known as the medulla, and an outer part, known as the cortex. It is large in infants and young children, but it decreases in ...

They identified stem-cell niches (areas where stem cells are clustered) in two locations in the thymus: underneath the organ capsule, or outer layer, and around blood vessels in the medulla ...

The cells in the medulla region of the thymus have a straightforward task: they are programmed to randomly display bouquets of proteins characteristic of various bodily tissues in order to “train” ...

The thymus also ensures that lymphocytes do not accidentally attack our own tissues; the thymic medulla is where these decisions are made, the UCR scientists said. "The newly discovered M cells ...

The subsequent stages of T cell development occur in the central region of the thymus called the medulla. The T cells that produce a response to the body’s own healthy tissue are eliminated in ...

The thymus is a much simpler organ and in these experiments became fully functional. Structurally it contained the two main regions - the cortex and medulla - and it also produced T-cells.

They identified stem-cell niches (areas where stem cells are clustered) in two locations in the thymus: underneath the organ capsule, or outer layer, and around blood vessels in the medulla ...
