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 ...

The Greeks believed your thymus was home to your soul. In fact, thymus means “soul” in Greek. While no studies have proved that to be the case, your thymus does play an important role in your ...

cruzi infection promotes an increase in ECM deposition in the mouse thymus, we confirmed that the content of ... by qualitative and quantitative immunofluorescence ana- lyses and ELISA. We then ...

central cortex, (CC), and perimedullary cortex (PC). M, medulla. (A) Immunofluorescence analysis of thymus section from Ccl21a-Cre x CAG-loxP-EGFP E11 embryos. EGFP (green) and Foxn1 (red) were ...

The thymus gland is located in the chest behind the breastbone. Its functions include producing white blood cells known as T cells, which aid in immunity. It also contributes to the production of ...

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 ...

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 survival rate for stage 4 thymus cancer depends on how far the cancer has spread. Surgery might offer a cure if the cancer hasn’t spread too far. Otherwise, treatment may include ...
