Myc controls a distinct transcriptional program in fetal thymic epithelial cells that determines thymus growth
Thymic epithelial cells (TEC) are essential for the maturation of functional T cells, while thymus size is proportional to the overall output efficiency. Here the authors show, using transcriptome analyses, that mouse fetal TEC maintain a Myc-dependent genetic program to ensure a rapid increase in t...
