Some thymes are native to the British Isles, including Breckland thyme (Thymus serpyllum), which grows on heathland in Norfolk and Suffolk, and wild thyme (Thymus polytrichus), which grows widely in ...

In the medulla, there is an accumulation of phenotypically mature T cells, that have passed the positive and negative selection processes and are able to egress the thymus and populate peripheral ...

Cancer of the thymus gland is rare. Most cancers that start in the thymus gland are called thymomas. There’s also a much rarer form of thymus gland cancer called thymic carcinoma. The thymus gland is ...

This paper is of interest to scientists within the field of thymus development and function. The work presented builds upon previous studies that have shown that alterations of Wnt/β-catenin signaling ...

These features are imprinted within the thymus and enable B cells to act as specialized antigen-presenting cells in the thymic medulla that contribute negative selection of self-reactive T cells.

This is first observed in the thymus, the primary lymphoid organ that generates and selects T cells. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning these ageing processes remain unclear.
