Immunologists at UNIGE have revealed a previously unknown anti-tumor role of CD4 T lymphocytes, marking a breakthrough that ...

Immune cell feedback drives thymus's complex architecture, new model reveals by Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

By studying lamins, the nuclear structural proteins, we demonstrate that lamin-B1 functions specifically in the thymic epithelial cells (TECs) for proper thymus organogenesis. An up-regulation of ...

If your doctor tells you that you have B-cell lymphoma, it means you have a cancer that forms in white blood cells called lymphocytes. Find out what causes it, the symptoms, and the reasons you ...

How are lymphocytes formed? Blood cells and immune cells are made in the bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes, and tissues. Certain cells will become part of the group of lymphocytes. Others will become ...

Invariant NKT cells are a hybrid cell type of Natural Killer cells and T cells, whose development is dependent on thymic positive selection mediated by double positive thymocytes through their ...

Minute, Ectopic Thymus Found at Autopsy of S.F., Showing (A) Normal Architecture of the Gland although It Is Diminutive (X45), and (B) the Corticomedullary Junction of the Thymus, with Abundant ...

Our work T and B lymphocytes are the immune cells responsible for 'adaptive' immunity - the part of the immune system that can specifically recognise and remember different infectious pathogens. Both ...

Merck on Friday announced an agreement with Shanghai-based Curon Biopharmaceutical, paying $700 million upfront to buy CN201, an investigational bispecific antibody for B cell-associated diseases.

Introduction The thymus medulla epithelium provides a unique environment for newly generated T cells to acquire self-tolerance before their emigration to the circulation. A variety of medullary thymic ...

In contrast to adult αβT-cells which are produced in a thymus structure that is mature, during foetal T-cell development, the thymus is still forming: the structure of the medulla and differentiation ...

In addition to the precursors of T cells, the thymus gland also contains other immune cells, the B cells. They develop in the bone marrow but migrate to the thymus in early childhood.
