Single-cell transcriptional profiling of human thymic stroma uncovers novel cellular heterogeneity in the thymic medulla

Abstract excerpt

The thymus' key function in the immune system is to provide the necessary environment for the development of diverse and self-tolerant T lymphocytes. While recent evidence suggests that the thymic stroma is comprised of more functionally distinct subpopulations than previously appreciated, the extent of this cellular heterogeneity in the human thymus is not well understood. Here we use single-cell RNA sequencing...
