T cell tolerance to the skin: a central role for central tolerance [PDF]
T cell tolerance to self-antigens is believed to be achieved in a two-step process. The first step, called central tolerance, takes place in the thymus. The second step takes place outside the thymus in secondary lymphoid organs.

Thermal Tolerance Varies Latitudinally and Broadly Mirrors Genetic Structure in the Seaweed Phyllospora comosa Across Its Entire Latitudinal Range [PDF]
Climate‐driven warming is causing rapid changes in marine environments, contracting ranges and reshaping ecosystems. Understanding how genetic structure and phenotypic variation interact to determine populations' ability to tolerate warming aids in ...

A model of preferential pairing between epithelial and dendritic cells in thymic antigen transfer
Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), which produce and present self-antigens, are essential for the establishment of central tolerance. Since mTEC numbers are limited, their function is complemented by thymic dendritic cells (DCs), which transfer ...

Central Tolerance Matters [PDF]
In this issue of Immunity, Anderson et al. provide another clue to the riddle that is Aire--why do human beings and mice lacking Aire develop diffuse and pathogenic autoimmunity? They find that Aire influences central tolerance not only by promoting the expression of peripheral self-proteins in thymic medullary epithelial cells (MECs) but also by ...

RANK Signaling in the Differentiation and Regeneration of Thymic Epithelial Cells
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) provide essential clues for the proliferation, survival, migration, and differentiation of thymocytes. Recent advances in mouse and human have revealed that TECs constitute a highly heterogeneous cell population with ...
