The thymus is organized into medullary and cortical zones that support distinct stages of T-cell development. The formation of medulla and cortex compartments is thought to occur through ...

The team confirmed that both the synchrotron and the edge-illumination system were able to distinguish between the cortex and medulla, as well as show Hassall's bodies, in images of a 19-day-old ...

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.

Please use one of the following formats to cite this article in your essay, paper or report: APA. S. A., Syed. (2023, October 11). The Structure and Function of the Thymus.

The thymus is roughly divided into two main regions, the medulla and the cortex. It has previously been unclear whether the cortex is involved in negative selection, or whether this process is ...

The thymus, an organ located in the chest, ... Each lobe has a central par, known as the medulla, and an outer part, known as the cortex.

The team confirmed that both the synchrotron and the edge-illumination system were able to distinguish between the cortex and medulla, as well as show Hassall's bodies, in images of a 19-day-old ...

The thymus is one of the most important organs of the immune system, where T cells learn to distinguish the body’s own tissue from foreign tissue – a decisive step in preventing autoimmune diseases.

In the normal thymus, TECs found in the cortex and the medulla are functionally distinct. For example, medullary epithelial cells are required for negative selection, failure of which leads to ...

Cells migrate in many, if not all, tissues, but their treks have until now been inferred from observations of chemically fixed tissue at different stages of development. A new tool, two-photon ...

In the thymus, it's possible to view cells 400 microns inside the cortex, which is about 4/10 of a millimeter or more than a hundredth of an inch deep.
