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 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.
