The first 3D images of a whole human thymus have been created using a specialized X-ray technique by researchers from UCL and the Francis Crick Institute. These highly-intricate images showed that ...
The thymus is one of the most important organs of the immune system, where T cells learn to distinguish the body’s own tissue from foreign tissue – a decisive step in preventing autoimmune diseases.
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. The ...
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 and ...
Despite its importance in producing T cells to control infections and tumorigenesis, the thymus is an early casualty of aging. With increased age, thymic function declines, the thymus undergoes ...
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.
