Figure 2: Stromal cell interactions along the migratory route of developing T cells. T cell progenitors enter the thymus through blood vessels near the cortico-medullary junction.

Thymic crosstalk between T cells and the thymus during T-cell priming shapes how the thymus grows and shapes itself.

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.

Deletion of the ‘glial cells missing-2’ gene in mice disrupts development of the parathyroid glands but does not eliminate production of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is required for ...
