WE have observed that repeated injections of reserpine induce atrophy of the thymus in adult and new-born rats (unpublished results). Since the thymus is known to play an important part in immune ...

Find out about TECregen's, a Basel-based company developing novel biologics designed to rejuvenate the thymus, “thymopoietics ...

TECregen seed funding supports the development of thymus regeneration biologics designed to restore immune function and ...

In the early 1900s, a strange disease was killing thousands of infants. Termed "status lymphaticus", it was blamed on the thymus, a small, grayish-pink gland weighing no more than 37 grams nestled ...

Mutant mice treated with tamoxifen showed total or near-total regeneration of their youthful thymus, while control mice also given tamoxifen showed predictable thymus function for their age. This held ...

Immune function deteriorates with age because, in part, the thymus involutes, dramatically decreasing its immune cell output. New evidence indicates that in mice, thymic involution is caused by a ...

Researchers found a way to boost aging immune systems by turning the liver into a temporary source of immune support signals ...

Cells of the thymus, known as thymocytes, play a critical role in the development of T-cells alongside a myriad of other specialized cells. Unfortunately, the thymus, a crucial organ for the adaptive ...

As the immune system weakens with age, scientists have found a way to restore some of its lost strength. By delivering mRNA ...

The deterioration in immune function that occurs as an individual ages is thought to occur because the thymus involutes with age, causing a dramatic decrease in T cell output. New data generated by ...
