Loss of Pten Disrupts the Thymic Epithelium and Alters Thymic Function.
The thymus is the site of T cell development and selection. In addition to lymphocytes, the thymus is composed of several types of stromal cells that are exquisitely organized to create the appropriate environment and microenvironment to support the development and selection of maturing T cells.
