Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have reported a promising approach to rejuvenating immune function ...

Researchers have used pluripotent stem cells to make thymus organoids that support the development of patient-specific T-cells, researchers report March 23 rd in the journal Stem Cell Reports. 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 ...

Biomedical scientists have confirmed that newly discovered cells in the thymus are just like M cells, which are mostly known for their presence in the intestinal epithelium. It came as a surprise to ...

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 ...

A Czech scientist has contributed to understanding the function of the thymus—the training center of the immune system. T lymphocytes, key defensive cells, learn in the thymus not to mistake the ...

Swiss biotech TECregen has raised 10 million Swiss francs ($12.6 million) in seed financing to advance its thymus regeneration platform, a niche but fast-growing area of immune medicine. The round was ...

An international research team led by the University of British Columbia (UBC) has uncovered for the first time the importance of a small gland tucked behind the sternum that works to prevent ...
