Thymus is the key organ for development and maturation of T lymphocytes. The dysfunction of thymus leads to decreased immunity or autoimmune diseases. T cells can be divided intoαβ T cells and γδ T ...

A team of researchers led by Professor Yoko Hamazaki and Assistant Professor Yann Pretemer (Department of Life Science Frontiers) has developed an in vitro model that faithfully recapitulates human ...

It’s long been thought that an organ known as the thymus is crucial to development of the immune system. Early in life, it ensures diversity among immune cells called T cells that fight pathogens and ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as quickly, making people more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try to ...
