Differentiated thymic epithelial cells adopt gene-expression and micro-environmental niches unique to the thymus 2310220

The thymus contains a multitude of epithelial cell types that work in concert to educate immature T cells called thymocytes to distinguish self from non-self. A subset of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) express lineage defining transcription factors and differentiate into cell types -- such as muscle, neuroendocri...
