Origin and molecular drivers of T cell and dendritic cell development in the human thymus. Ghent University
The immune system is our body’s major defense mechanism against invading pathogens, as well as against tumor cells. One of the critical white blood cells that plays a central role in the immune system comprises T lymphocytes. They are generated from blood forming stem cells that undergo a series of discrete developmental stages within a specific organ called the thymus.
