Researchers from the Organoid group have developed a new organoid model that can be used to study the thymus. The organoids are derived from mouse thymus tissue, specifically model thymic epithelial ...

The thymus is a crucial training ground for T-cells, the body's "white knights," where they learn to battle the various diseases they may encounter. Thymic function shrinks to nearly nothing as we age ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

Researchers from the Organoid group have developed a new organoid model that can be used to study the thymus. The organoids, derived from mouse thymus tissue, specifically model thymic epithelial ...

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 identified processes that control the development and composition of thymic tissue throughout life. Specifically, they were able to show that a certain growth factor can maintain ...

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke University doctors say a baby is thriving after a first-of-its-kind heart transplant -- one that came with a bonus technique to try to help prevent rejection of the new organ. The ...

Microscopy images of mouse thymic epithelial cell (TEC) organoids. The left image shows a TEC organoid in expansion medium, which is a mixture of molecules used to keep the organoids in culture. The ...
