Differential requirement of kindlin-3 for T cell progenitor homing to the non-vascularized and vascularized thymus

The role of integrin-mediated adhesion during T cell progenitor homing to and differentiation within the thymus is ill-defined, mainly due to functional overlap. To circumvent compensation, we disrupted the hematopoietic integrin regulator kindlin-3 in mice and found a progressive thymus atrophy tha...
