Intrasplenic Thymus Organogenesis from Injectable Tissue Fragments Restores Functional T‐Cell Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Clinical intramuscular thymus transplantation yields only short‐lived efficacy and marginal therapeutic benefits. Benefiting from the spleen's intrinsic strengths—rapid vascular perfusion, abundant developmental factors, and resident progenitors—the intrasplenic thymic grafts achieve robust thymic regeneration and substantial T‐cell reconstitution ...

Towards a Compositional Framework for Describing Human Phenotypes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Phenotype Assembly Method (PhenoAM) decomposes phenotype variables into measurable Features and typed Qualifiers, enabling standardized, machine‐readable Phenome Data Elements (PhenoDEs) that preserve measurement context. Applied in the International Human Phenome Project (IHPP), the framework yields 58 371 PhenoDEs and supports component‐level ...
