thymic epithelial cell lineage," Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, vol.
Foxn1 maintains
thymic epithelial cells to support T-cell development via mcm2 in zebrafish.
Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) is an important transcriptional regulator that is mainly expressed in medullary
thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) in the central immune system.
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the thymus was mainly produced by the
thymic epithelial cells (TECs), the predominant component of the thymic microenvironment.
Type B1 thymoma is a tumor of
thymic epithelial cells closely resembling normal thymus.
Thymus endocrinology is characterized by the action of many hormones and hormone-like substances on the cellular components of the thymus, including thymocytes,
thymic epithelial cells, and thymic stromal cells.
