The thymus plays a key role in the body's immune response. It is here where the T lymphocytes or T cells, a major type of immune defence cells, mature. Different types of T cells, designated to ...

Scientists have visualized how the body uses to tests out important defensive cells and captured the process on video. The body uses immune T-cells to act as the first line of defense, monitoring the ...

Thymic crosstalk between T cells and the thymus during T-cell priming shapes how the thymus grows and shapes itself.

The appropriate maturation of thymocytes into functionally capable, self-tolerant T-cells and the eradication of autoreactive T-cells depend on a normal thymic microenvironment.

When T cells mature within the thymus, they are not capable of fighting viruses, bacteria, and foreign antigens. After the T cells leave the thymus, thymosin ensures they undergo complete maturation.

Your thymus gland is an important part of your immune system. It makes germ-fighting T cells. If your thymus gland doesn't work well, you won't have enough T cells to protect your body from infection.

A thymus atlas reveals that immune foundations are set as early as 12 weeks post-conception. Researchers uncovered key T cell development processes, offering insights for engineering immune cells to ...

In contrast, the T cells generated by Russ lab’s organoids develop in a way that’s truer to the function of a real human thymus. In the results of a paper published March 23 in Stem Cell ...

The thymus plays a key role in the body's immune response. It is here where the T lymphocytes or T cells, a major type of immune defence cells, mature. Different types of T cells, designated to ...

T cells, integral to immune defense, undergo complex development and aging processes. This comprehensive study explores the mechanisms of T cell remodeling across the lifespan, focusing on thymus ...
