The Israeli group had identified similar cells in the thymus, an organ located just above ... led by Jakub Abramson, initiated the mouse study on the thymic epithelium before contacting Lo ...

"The thymus has a challenging problem to solve ... to generate an autoimmune response against the native tuft cells of the nude mouse gut. This elegant experiment demonstrated that thymic tuft ...

In a new study published yesterday in Nature Cell Biology, scientists announced that they had managed to grow a fully functional thymus in a mouse. The thymus started out as part of a mouse ...

In mouse model experiments, increasing FGF21 preserved both the size and function of the thymus, allowing for greater T-cell variation. Inside the labyrinth: How thymic structures rebuild Stromal ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Immunology and Epigenetics in Freiburg have generated artificial thymus tissue in a mouse embryo to enable the maturation of immune cells. In this ...

The thymus sits in front of the heart and is where T cells mature; its age-related decline is associated with cancer, infections and autoimmune conditions, according to a Dec. 4 release about the ...

Your thymus creates your T cells, which are a type of white blood cell. The proteins in your thymus help teach the T cells about which organs they're getting sent to. Your thymus prepares your ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified stem cells in the human thymus for the first time. These cells represent a potential new target to understand immune diseases and cancer ...

B cells reach maturity within the bone marrow, but T cells must travel to the thymus to complete their development. Adaptive immune responses are generated in the lymph nodes, spleen, and mucosa ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified stem cells in the human thymus for the first time. These cells represent a potential new target to understand immune diseases and cancer and ...

Around 700 million years ago, the animal kingdom began to branch off from single-celled organisms. Now, scientists have uncovered molecular tools that could have assisted the leap — and ...
