Primary explants of the postnatal thymus allow the expansion of clonogenic thymic epithelial cells that constitute thymospheres
Abstract Background Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are responsible for shaping the repertoires of T cells, where their postnatal regeneration depends on a subset of clonogenic TECs. Despite the implications for regenerative medicine, their cultivation and expansion remain challenging. Primary explan...
