The Thymus Regeneration Paradox: The Search for Stemness in an Involuting Organ

The thymus is emerging as a model for studying organ regeneration and stem cell biology. While research has long focused on how antigen-presenting cells shape the T cell repertoire, recent discoverie....

Stimulating immune cells in vitro is a common experimental lab model. We profiled 150K blood immune cells treated with 11 different stimuli to compare the effects. The data are freely available for researchers. See the preprint for our findings and to access the data 🧪 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

OK, everything is not done, I give up. It is not raining, garden needs tending, and today it is 20 hrs of daylight so must move my focus there. Hyvää juhannusta 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! 🇫🇮

In Finland 🇫🇮 we have this thing called ”everything must be done before midsommaren”. I have three days. Bring it on.

I agree the thymus likely presents all key epitopes for T cell tolerance. But studies based only on transcriptional data without testing each mimetic cell’s role should be viewed cautiously and given lower priority. #thymus #tolerance #immunology
