Abstract excerpt
The thymic medulla is a complex microenvironment which plays a crucial role in central tolerance induction. Using a quantitative histological analysis of non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, we show that the medulla undergoes several structural modifications during the course of the disease in NOD mice. Indeed, the majority of 70-day-old NOD mice show a scattering of medullary epithelial cells in the cortex which is...
