Researchers have demonstrated a way to boost thymic function after damage using a specific type of regulatory T cell.

The small trial will help to establish whether kidneys from genetically modified pigs can be transplanted into people safely and effectively.

The thymus plays a pivotal role in generating a highly-diverse repertoire of T lymphocytes while preventing autoimmunity. Thymus seeding progenitors (TSPs) are a heterogeneous group of multipotent ...

The two previous patients who received pig kidneys ‒ one at NYU Langone and one Massachusetts General Hospital ‒ died or had their transplant removed within eight weeks, as did two men who ...

The thymus—a primary lymphoid organ responsible for the generation of T lymphocytes—is particularly compromised by both undernutrition and infectious diseases. In this respect, we will discuss herein ...

“The more people who are willing to consider donating in this way, the more kidneys there are available to help everyone waiting for a transplant,” she said. Nearly one in three (27 per ...

Murine hematopoietic cells were transduced with ecotropic supernatants (Figure 1b), using conditions that led to efficient gene marking with low provirus copies (<3) per cell. 23 Polyclonal ...

Meet the transplant team: surgeons, physicians, nurses, administrators and staff. Every 10 minutes, another name is added to the national organ transplant waiting list. Each day, 21 people die from ...
