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 thymus ...

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 generation of a functional human thymus from human pluripotent stem cells is an attractive regenerative strategy. "An experimental model system to interrogate the mechanisms of thymic ...

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.

The thymus gland is located in the chest behind the breastbone. Its functions include producing white blood cells known as T cells, which aid in immunity. It also contributes to the production of ...
