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.

We discovered the function of the thymus and made key findings on the function of the two main subsets of lymphocytes, T cells and B cells. This was the fundamental basis for modern immunology.

It has since been changed to "thymus tumour". Kobi Jones, 13, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer after experiencing chest pain at football practice. (Supplied: Charli Rowden) ...

International Yoga Day 2025: Bone health is often not at the forefront of focus, like gut health (your daily probiotic check) or muscle strength may be (counting every gram of protein). Not until ...

Also, in the involuted thymus, glandular or tubular structures can be found. Therefore, adenocarcinomas can result from extreme glandular differentiation during tumor progression. Review of the ...

Differentiation articles from across Nature Portfolio. Atom; RSS Feed; Definition. Cell differentiation is the process by which specialised cells such as muscle, skin or nerve cells, are formed ...

Estrogen-induced involution of the thymus is associated with a reduction in numbers of immature T lymphocytes. Estrogen affects T-cell subset composition, as well as T-cell function and activation ...

Thymus tissue transplantation, bone marrow transplant, stem cell transplant, or transplant of disease-fighting blood cells may be necessary. Other treatments.

DEVELOPMENT of the mammalian lymphoid system and attainment of full immunocompetence have been shown to depend on the presence of the thymus during early life1–3. The possibility has been ...

Several differential diagnoses should be considered, such as prominent myocardial trabeculae (typically fewer than three) in a normal ventricle, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (deep recesses that do not ...
