Adult Thymus Contains FoxN1− Epithelial Stem Cells that Are Bipotent for Medullary and Cortical Thymic Epithelial Lineages
1 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Within the thymus, two major thymic epithelial cell (TEC) subsets-cortical and medullary TECs-provide unique structural and functional niches for T cell development and establishment of central tolerance. Both lineages are believed to originate from a common progenitor cell, yet the cellular and molecular identity of these bipotent TEC progenitors/stem cells remains ill defined. Here we identify rare stromal...
