Thymic atrophy seems to be accelerated by stromal catalase deficiency, and can be decreased by genetic complementation of catalase or chemical antioxidants.

"In the case of the thymus, atrophy is more rapid than other tissues, which we now show is a consequence of stromal catalase deficiency in the context of a highly metabolic environment designed to ...

Researchers uncovered a new type of cell in the thymus which is responsible for the production and maturation of immune cells.

UC Riverside biomedical scientists have confirmed that newly discovered cells in the thymus are just like M cells, which are mostly known for their presence in the intestinal epithelium.

The thymus, an organ located in the chest, is an important part of the immune system. Learn more.

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: your immune system’s master gland One of the most profoundly seminal moments in Fahy’s career happened in 1986, five years before the publication of that book.
