The first 3D images of a whole human thymus have been created using a specialized X-ray technique by researchers from UCL and the Francis Crick Institute. These highly-intricate images showed that ...

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 ...

Researchers 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 how to boost the immune system.

Human peadiatric thymus image from the IBEX protein multiplex (44 proteins on the same image) platform. Thymic epithelial cells are labeled with DEC205 (cyan), pan-cytokeratin (purple), keratin 5 (red ...

Our immune systems begin developing long before we are born. Immune cells are generated around 4-weeks after gestation and continue to grow while in utero. As a result, we are protected from infection ...
