Founded in 2001, ThymUS brings together international researchers working on thymus and T-cell biology. The abstract entitled “A rapid and scalable thymus organoid development method for ...

“Our discovery—the regulatory T cell recirculation back to the thymus—promotes repair through a process that hasn’t been described before and represents a novel pathway to regeneration ...

Insights gained from studying how thymus samples change before and after birth could help future researchers generate an artificial thymus, the first step in being able to engineer therapeutic ...

It leverages a small amount of labelled data (expensive and time-consuming to acquire) and a large amount of unlabelled data to create effective models. As mentioned, semi-supervised learning ...

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. It came as a surprise ...

Defining the identity and the niches of epithelial stem cells with highly pleiotropic multilineage potency in the human thymus. Developmental Cell , 2023; DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2023.08.017 Cite ...

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 ...

Five years after surgery, 8.1% of patients who had a thymectomy died compared with 2.8% of those who did not have their thymus removed, equating to a 2.9-times higher risk of death.

In a study of almost 2,300 adults who underwent chest surgery, removing the thymus gland was associated with higher rates of death and of cancer within the next few years, researchers report in ...

By studying people who had their thymus removed, we discovered that the thymus is absolutely required for health. If it isn't there, people's risk of dying and risk of cancer is at least double.

The thymus, credited as being the “seat of the soul” by Galen of Pergamon almost 2000 years ago, was later considered to be a “graveyard” for dying cells and was deemed to be “an ...
