Thymus is the key organ for development and maturation of T lymphocytes. The dysfunction of thymus leads to decreased immunity or autoimmune diseases. T cells can be divided intoαβ T cells and γδ T ...
FibroBiologics, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company with a focus on developing therapeutics for chronic diseases, has announced that research scientist Simon Gebremeskel will present a poster ...
The thymus is a specialised primary lymphoid organ that underpins the development and education of T cells. Here, immature progenitors undergo a tightly regulated series of events that not only ...
A team of researchers led by Professor Yoko Hamazaki and Assistant Professor Yann Pretemer (Department of Life Science Frontiers) has developed an in vitro model that faithfully recapitulates human ...
French researchers have used a protein called receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) to revive the structure and function of the thymus in old mice. The thymus sits in front of the heart and is ...
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. Subscribe ...
As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can’t react to pathogens as quickly, making individuals more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try ...
