Find out about TECregen's, a Basel-based company developing novel biologics designed to rejuvenate the thymus, “thymopoietics ...
Researchers found a way to boost aging immune systems by turning the liver into a temporary source of immune support signals ...
Immune function deteriorates with age because, in part, the thymus involutes, dramatically decreasing its immune cell output. New evidence indicates that in mice, thymic involution is caused by a ...
Involution of the thymus is accompanied by a decline in the number of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) and a severely restricted peripheral repertoire of T-cell specificities. TECs are essential for ...

Age-related thymic involution causes a decreased output of thymocytes from the thymus, thereby resulting in impairment of T cell-mediated immunity. While alterations in the T cell and ...
The deterioration in immune function that occurs as an individual ages is thought to occur because the thymus involutes with age, causing a dramatic decrease in T cell output. New data generated by ...
