The proprotein convertase furin regulates the development of thymic epithelial cells to ensure central immune tolerance

Summary: The generation of mature T cells and establishment of central tolerance is predominantly orchestrated by thymic epithelial cells (TECs). Proprotein convertases are responsible for the proteolysis of proproteins into their mature bioactive counterparts. Here, we found that Furin, a member of...
