Reconstitution of a functional human thymus by postnatal stromal progenitor cells and natural whole-organ scaffolds

Reconstitution of a functional human thymus by postnatal stromal progenitor cells and natural whole-organ scaffolds

The thymus is essential for T cell maturation and selection, and thymic defects result in severe immune problems. Here the authors identify a thymus cell population that is expandable in vitro, and can repopulate natural thymic matrix to generate tissue that supports mature T cell development in vit...
