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 and ...

United Therapeutics has paid $140 million to buy Thymmune Therapeutics for preclinical regenerative cell therapies focused on the thymus.

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Robyn Williams: One of the Australians who should have got a Nobel Prize years ago is Dr Jacques Miller ...

In a Mass General Brigham research lab, a team of scientists found such strong links between thymus health and longevity — and immunotherapy effectiveness — that they literally said, “This cannot be ...

Researchers at Mayo Clinic have uncovered a previously hidden step in how the immune system prepares to fight cancer, a ...

With advances in cancer immunotherapy splashing across headlines, the immune system’s powerful cancer assassins — T cells — have become dinner-table conversation. But hiding in plain sight behind that ...

For centuries, the thymus was dismissed as a vestigial organ. But in the 60s, researchers suggested that it was actually very important to T cells. Later work showed how important the thymus is to the ...

Researchers have used pluripotent stem cells to make thymus organoids that support the development of patient-specific T-cells, researchers report March 23 in the journal Stem Cell Reports. The ...

As populations age worldwide, the decline of the immune system, a process known as immunosenescence, has become a critical biomedical challenge. This decline leads to increased susceptibility to ...

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.

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.
