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 ...

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 ...

After treatment, the regenerated organ had a similar structure to that found in a young mouse. The function of the thymus was also restored and the mice began making more white blood cells called ...

This image of a mouse thymus, made using light-sheet fluorescent microscopy, shows the three-dimensional structure of blood vessels in the organ. The thymus plays a primary role in training the immune ...

Researchers from the Organoid group have developed a new organoid model that can be used to study the thymus. The organoids, derived from mouse thymus tissue, specifically model thymic epithelial ...

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 ...

"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 simultanuous expression of FOXN4 and FOXN1 in the mouse led to a thymus that showed properties as in fish,” said first author Jeremy Swann. Together with earlier results this suggests that the ...

The discovery, from a mouse model of a human autoimmune condition, suggests that effective strategies to treat autoimmune disease should target not only the “peripheral” sites where autoimmune disease ...
