A team of researchers led by Professor Yoko Hamazaki and Assistant Professor Yann Pretemer (Department of Life Science ...

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 considered somewhat unnecessary in adults. But a new study finds that its removal is associated with heightened risks of death and cancer.

The thymus: your immune system’s master gland One of the most profoundly seminal moments in Fahy’s career happened in 1986, five years before the publication of that book.

Sara Campinoti, author and researcher in the Epithelial Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory at the Crick says: "Showing it is possible to build a working thymus from human cells ...

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 ...

An international research team led by the University of British Columbia (UBC) has uncovered for the first time the importance of a small gland tucked behind the sternum that works to prevent ...

The thymus changes massively during pregnancy and how such rewiring of an entire tissue contributes to a healthy pregnancy has been one of the remaining mysteries of immunology.

There is potential for Tregs and amphiregulin to be used in patients receiving cancer therapies to ameliorate immune function.

A pediatric surgery team at Duke University successfully performed a heart transplant and a thymus tissue transplant from the same donor. By transplanting both, the odds of rejection may be reduced.
