A model developed by LMU biophysicists demonstrates how biological processes form the convoluted internal architecture of the thymus—allowing for better suppression of autoimmune responses.

On Sunday, May 18, the print and e-paper editions of the Chicago Sun-Times included a special section titled the Heat Index: Your Guide to the Best of Summer, featuring a summer reading list, that ...

We thank Magali Irla and Arnauld Sergé for their kind permission to reproduce a wt thymus histological section and three-dimensional representation of the thymus from their work.

The abstract entitled “A rapid and scalable thymus organoid development method for generating functional T cells” presents progress on the development of a transplantable and scalable ...

Section analysis of the thymus verified the presence of EGFP + cells in the cortex (Fig. 3B). Because cTECs do not presently express Ccl21a transcripts 10 (also shown in Fig. 1B-D), these results ...

Ccl21a -expressing mTECs during early thymus organogenesis (A) Immunofluorescence analysis of thymus section from Ccl21a -Cre x CAG-loxP-EGFP E11 embryos. EGFP (green) and Foxn1 (red) were analyzed as ...

Researchers 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 and how to boost the immune system.

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 ...

The thymus is considered somewhat unnecessary in adults. But a new study finds that its removal is associated with heightened risks of death and cancer.

The thymus, credited as being the “seat of the soul” by Galen of Pergamon almost 2000 years ago, was later considered to be a “graveyard” for dying cells and was deemed to be “an ...
