“Our discovery—the regulatory T cell recirculation back to the thymus—promotes repair through a process that hasn’t been described before and represents a novel pathway to regeneration ...

The inner layer can invaginate to form septa, from which thin trabeculae that contain vascularized capillaries extend towards the center of the thymus lobe. Approximately 5% of the developing ...

The thymus, often considered unimportant in adults, is shown to play a vital role in the immune system, with its appearance linked to sex, age, and lifestyle. Thymus health may impact immunity, but ...

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 ...

The thymus is an 'H'-shaped organ behind the breastbone that plays an important role in the development of the immune system in childhood, but what function does it play in the adult body?

Many people couldn’t say where their thymus is, or what it does, and even doctors have long considered it expendable in adults. But new Harvard-led research suggests that the walnut-sized organ ...

In a study of almost 2,300 adults who underwent chest surgery, removing the thymus gland was associated with higher rates of death and of cancer within the next few years, researchers report in ...

The thymus, credited as being the “seat of the soul” by Galen of Pergamon almost 2000 years ago, was later considered to be a “graveyard” for dying cells and was deemed to be “an ...

By studying people who had their thymus removed, we discovered that the thymus is absolutely required for health. If it isn't there, people's risk of dying and risk of cancer is at least double.

The function of the thymus in human adults is unclear, and routine removal of the thymus is performed in a variety of surgical procedures. We hypothesized that the adult thymus is needed to ...
