The presentation details a new method for creating a transplantable and scalable artificial thymus organoid intended to restore T-cell functionality, which is crucial for immune system health.

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 ...

The team's study results, published today in the journal Immunity, outline their discovery of a specific type of regulatory T cell that can home back into the thymus and repair the organ when it's ...

The medulla oblongata is a small area of the brain stem. Though it may be little, it’s incredibly important. The medulla oblongata is a part of your brainstem. Your brainstem is the part of your ...

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 ...

The subsequent stages of T cell development occur in the central region of the thymus called the medulla. The T cells that produce a response to the body’s own healthy tissue are eliminated in ...

The thymus is a soft gland with two lobes. Each lobe has a central par, known as the medulla, and an outer part, known as the cortex. It is large in infants and young children, but it decreases in ...

The thymus also ensures that lymphocytes do not accidentally attack our own tissues; the thymic medulla is where these decisions are made, the UCR scientists said. "The newly discovered M cells ...

They identified stem-cell niches (areas where stem cells are clustered) in two locations in the thymus: underneath the organ capsule, or outer layer, and around blood vessels in the medulla ...
