Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer
Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 377-386, July 2026.Conceptual ‘Crossroads Model’ linking Leishmania, thymic infection and immune dysregulation: an integrative model is proposed in which Leishmania infection disrupts thymic architecture and stromal–thymocyte interactions. These alterations converge to promote defective tolerance, increased autoimmune risk and a microenvironment permissive to malignant ...
