The discovery of a protein’s contribution to the development of T-cells in the spleen and thymus could lead to new treatment strategies for immunodeficiency diseases. Despite its name ...

suggesting the organ was essential specifically for the development of the immune system. This was the first demonstration that the thymus had an immunological function, and led to further work by ...

The study provides an in-depth analysis of T cell development, beginning with their migration from bone marrow to the thymus, where they undergo critical selection and maturation processes. It ...

“Our discovery—the regulatory T cell recirculation back to the thymus—promotes repair through a process that hasn’t been described before and represents a novel pathway to regeneration ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and their collaborators at Ghent University, Belgium, the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and ...

A team of international researchers led by scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organization ...

He uses mouse models to study the thymus, the organ in which specialized immune cells called T cells mature. His goal is to apply his findings to develop new therapies to promote immunity in cancer ...
