A roadmap for thymic epithelial cell development
1 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Thymic epithelial cells (TEC) are essential components of the thymus that guide and control the development and TCR repertoire selection of T cells. Previously, TEC have been considered as postmitotic cells that, once generated during ontogeny, were maintained in their mature state.
