Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3

Bone Marrow-Derived Cells Contribute to the Maintenance of Thymic Stroma including TECs
Journal of Immunology Research, 2022 In paradox to critical functions for T-cell selection and self-tolerance, the thymus undergoes profound age-associated atrophy and loss of T-cell function, further enhanced by cancer therapies. Identifying thymic epithelial progenitor populations capable

BMC Cancer, 2023 Background The classification of thymomas is based on the morphology of epithelial tumor cells and the proportion of lymphocytes. Type A thymomas are composed of the spindle or oval tumor epithelial cells. Tumor cells of B thymomas are epithelioid-shaped

Characterization of the spatio-temporal dynamics in thymic epithelial development [PDF]
, 2015 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:

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]
, 2010 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.

Metabolic Regulation of Thymic Epithelial Cell Function [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The thymus is the primary site of T lymphocyte development, where mutually inductive signaling between lymphoid progenitors and thymic stromal cells directs the progenitors along a well-characterized program of differentiation. Although thymic stromal cells, including thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are critical for the development of T cell-mediated ...

Transforming growth factor-β signaling in thymic epithelial cells : its role in development, steady-state and immune reconstitution [PDF]
, 2010 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 ...

Aire-dependent production of XCL1 mediates medullary accumulation of thymic dendritic cells and contributes to regulatory T cell development [PDF]
, 2011 Dendritic cells (DCs) in the thymus (tDCs) are predominantly accumulated in the medulla and contribute to the establishment of self-tolerance. However, how the medullary accumulation of tDCs is regulated and involved in self-tolerance is unclear. We show

Breakdown of thymic tolerance - an etiologic link between acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease [PDF]
, 2014 Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the standard therapy for many disorders of the haematological system. Its use is limited by the major complication acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Development of acute GVHD predisposes
