1. Thymus dysfunction in the 22q11 deletion syndrome
Sammanfattning : Introduction: The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is associated with heterogeneous clinical findings, including T-cell immunodeficiency resulting from thymus hypoplasia. LÄS MER
2. A Study of Eosinophils – From the Human Thymus to Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Sammanfattning : Eosinophils are cells of the innate immune system. They primarily reside within tissues and are most numerous in the gastrointestinal tract but are absent from the healthy esophagus. During the inflammatory disease eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophils infiltrate the esophagus but their function is unknown. LÄS MER
3. Phenotypic and functional analysis of the mesenchymal stromal cell compartment in the thymus
Sammanfattning : T cells are key cellular components of the adaptive immune system that play a critical role in our defense against pathogens and cancer but also contribute to pathology in the setting of chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. The thymus constitutes the body's major T cell production site, where bone marrow-derived progenitors migrate in a co-ordinated fashion through anatomically distinct cortical and medullary regions that are composed of epithelial and mesenchymal stromal elements. LÄS MER
4. Inhibition of T cell responses to autoantigens and allergens by CD25+ regulatory T cells from thymus, cord and adult blood
Sammanfattning : Autoimmune diseases and allergies are a growing problem in the western world today. Tolerance is primarily established by clonal deletion in the thymus. Despite this auto-reactive T cells are normally present in most individuals, which suggests that mechanisms of peripheral tolerance operate to silence potentially pathogenic T cells. LÄS MER
5. Generation of lymphocytes in the thymus : a study of morphologic, antigenic and functional development of lymphocytes in embryonic thymus organ cultures
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
