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

"These cells mature in the thymus, an organ just above the heart, where they 'get educated' to not attack the body." Study co-author Jessica Lancaster, a postdoctoral researcher, and Ehrlich used a ...

"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 ...

Cells from a mouse embryo were reprogrammed to look like thymus cells and then transplanted into a mouse. The cells formed a replacement organ with the same structure, complexity and function as a ...

This review focuses on what is known about the nature of these signals in the mouse model of post-natal T-cell production in the thymus. Figure 1: Cell migration during post-natal T-cell ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using mouse embryo cells, scientists at the MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine created an artificial thymus gland with the same structure and function as an adult organ. Organ transplants are ...

This study — conducted in a mouse model — also showed that this increase in autoreactive T cells was mediated by the adverse effects of vitamin D deficiency on cells in the thymus, the ...

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 ...

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 ...
