Scientists have visualized how the body uses to tests out important defensive cells and captured the process on video. The body uses immune T-cells to act as the first line of defense, monitoring the ...
Scientists have succeeded in regenerating a living organ for the first time. Researchers rebuilt the thymus -- an organ in the body located next to the heart that produces important immune cells. The ...
Our immune systems begin developing long before we are born. Immune cells are generated around 4-weeks after gestation and continue to grow while in utero. As a result, we are protected from infection ...
The thymus plays a key role in the body's immune response. It is here where the T lymphocytes or T cells, a major type of immune defence cells, mature. Different types of T cells, designated to ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and at University College London (UCL) have rebuilt a human thymus using human stem cells and a bioengineered scaffold. The thymus is an essential organ in ...
The Greeks believed your thymus was home to your soul. In fact, thymus means “soul” in Greek. While no studies have proved that to be the case, your thymus does play an important role in your immune ...
Human peadiatric thymus image from the IBEX protein multiplex (44 proteins on the same image) platform. Thymic epithelial cells are labeled with DEC205 (cyan), pan-cytokeratin (purple), keratin 5 (red ...
A close-up image of a differentiated thymic epithelial cell. UC San Francisco immunologist and stem cell scientist Mark Anderson, MD, PhD, came up with a novel idea to prevent transplanted organs from ...

In a new study published yesterday in Nature Cell Biology, scientists announced that they had managed to grow a fully functional thymus in a mouse. The thymus started out as part of a mouse embryo—a ...
How autoreactive thymocytes die remains a question that has not been fully answered. New results supporting a role for the death ligand TRAIL may take us a step closer to unraveling this mystery.
