Scientists May Have Discovered a Way to Rejuvenate The Immune System
As we age, the immune system gradually declines in function, leaving the body more vulnerable to disease. Scientists have discovered a new way to rejuvenate a key component of immune function, ...
The thymus is a small, inconspicuous organ, but it is also vital for a functional immune system. This is because it is the development site of the T-lymphocytes (T-cells), which play a central role in ...
Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have reported a promising approach to rejuvenating immune function ...
Babies destined to die because they were born without a thymus -- the organ that generates immune cells -- can be given lifesaving tissue normally discarded during cardiac surgery on other infants, ...
Zag Bio (TM), Inc., a biotechnology company pioneering thymus-targeted medicines, today announced the appointment of Jan Hillson, M.D., a physician-scientist and rheumatologist with over 20 years of ...
Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Robyn Williams: One of the Australians who should have got a Nobel Prize years ago is Dr Jacques Miller ...
The thymus gland—which produces immune T cells before birth and during childhood— is often regarded as nonfunctional in adults, and it's sometimes removed during cardiac surgery for easier access to ...
An international research team led by the University of British Columbia (UBC) has uncovered for the first time the importance of a small gland tucked behind the sternum that works to prevent ...
Researchers have discovered stem cells in the human thymus. These cells represent a potential new target for research into immunological disorders, cancer, and immune system stimulation. The thymus ...

Scientists may have cracked a way to rewind and rejuvenate the immune system
The idea of turning back the clock on the immune system has moved from science fiction to a concrete experimental strategy. A ...
For the first time, scientists follow the development of individual immune cells in a living zebrafish embryo. T-cells are the immune system's security force. They seek out pathogens and rogue cells ...
