A model developed by LMU biophysicists demonstrates how biological processes form the convoluted internal architecture of the thymus—allowing for better suppression of autoimmune responses.

It was an ordinary day at football training when the 13-year-old from Collie, Western Australia, felt early signs of the thymoma — a tumour that develops on the thymus gland.

We have begun to unravel one mechanism of differentiation of human sebaceous glands that culminates in sebum production.

One of the most baffling glands in the body is the thymus. It lies just below the neck and behind the top of the breastbone, and in all the centuries that man has been studying physiology, its ...

The human body faces a wide variety of threats from bacteria, viruses, and other dangers, such as cancer. T cells, made by the thymus, fight pathogens and malignancies through direct attack or by ...
