MicroRNAs control the maintenance of thymic epithelia and their competence for T lineage commitment and thymocyte selection.
Thymic epithelial cells provide unique cues for the lifelong selection and differentiation of a repertoire of functionally diverse T cells. Rendered microRNA (miRNA) deficient, these stromal cells in the mouse lose their capacity to instruct the commitment of hematopoietic precursors to a T cell fat...
