Dysfunction of T lymphocytes in aging has been causally related to a gradual loss of the thymic microenvironmental function. However, in view of the fact that T cells are generated from bone marrow-derived stem cells that settle in the thymus, we have investigated the possibility that aging effects on the bone marrow have an impact on T cell development. Our approach was based on seeding of bone marrow cells,...
