Noting that T lymphocytes are produced by the thymus in proportion to its size, Ann V. Griffith, PhD, from The Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter, FL, and colleagues discuss the decreased ...

A critical immune organ called the thymus shrinks rapidly with age, putting older individuals at greater risk for life-threatening infections. A study published Aug. 6 in Cell Reports reveals that ...

“The thymus offers clues to how the immune system got its start. This complicated organ, with so many different stromal cell types and interactions, is responsible for producing lymphocytes that ...

UC Riverside biomedical scientists have confirmed that newly discovered cells in the thymus are just like M cells, which are mostly known for their presence in the intestinal epithelium.

The thymus starts to deteriorate from an early age, and by the time you are 50 it has almost entirely converted to fat. Fortunately for those of us older than 50, T cells survive a decade or two ...
