Characterization of the spatio-temporal dynamics in thymic epithelial development [PDF]
The work presented in this thesis is centered on the development and maturation of the epithelial compartment in the murine thymus and consequently its functional capacity to promote normal thymopoiesis. Two main aspects have been investigated in depth:

Thymic cysts in the neck [PDF]
AbstractThe etiologic considerations in head and neck lesions rarely include the diagnosis of thymic cysts. A correlative summary of three new cases was analyzed with respect to the already existing body of data. A classification of thymic cysts, their embryogenesis, clinical signs, and appropriate pre‐operative studies were stressed.

Heterogeneity in thymic emigrants: implications for thymectomy and immunosenescence. [PDF]
The development of mature, antigen-inexperienced (naive) T cells begins in the thymus and continues after export into the periphery. Post-thymic maturation of naive T cells, in humans, coincides with the progressive loss of markers such as protein ...

Transforming growth factor-β signaling in thymic epithelial cells : its role in development, steady-state and immune reconstitution [PDF]
The thymus constitutes the primary lymphoid organ responsible for the generation of naïve T cells. Its stromal compartment is composed of a scaffold of different subsets of epithelial cells that provide soluble and membrane-bound molecules essential for ...

MEDIASTINAL THYMIC CYST IN A 50-YEAR-OLD MALE
Thymic CYSTs of the mediastinum are rare. It has been reported that their incidence is between 1 to 4.8%. They usually present as an asymptomatic mediastinal mass and are mostly found incidentally.

A Giant Thymic Cyst Accompanied by Acute Mediastinitis [PDF]
We encountered a rare case of thymic cyst accompanied by mediastinitis. A 39-year-old Japanese male presented with fever and chest pain. The chest CT revealed a mass composed of a lobular cystic lesion with inflammation, suggesting the onset of ...

Function of Gata-2 in thymic epithelial cells : a transcription factor identified from gene expression analysis of endodermal cells committed to thymic epithelial cell fate [PDF]
The thymus structure composes of clear morphological regions. The T-cell precursors enter the thymus in the cortico-medullary junction and migrate through the cortex towards the sub capsular region and back through to the cortex into the medulla.

Cervical thymic cyst: A rare cause of neck mass in a female adolescent
Cervical thymic cysts are an uncommon cause of a neck mass in children. Most cervical thymic cysts undergo surgical excision for diagnostic purposes; therefore, the natural progression of these lesions is not known.
