  5. #Thymus is a primary lymphoid organ of the immune system that acts as a "training academy" for T-cells (T-lymphocytes).

    It is essential for developing adaptive immunity, which allows your body to recognize and remember specific pathogens like viruses and bacteria.

    Hier sind meine fünf die im Garten wachsen. Da ich schon sehr viele Pflanzen in #NaturaDB abgespeichert habe musste ich nur nach den lateinischen Namen suchen un dann einmal durch dein #Garten.

    #Eranthis hyemalis
    #Allium ursinum
    #Rubus idaeus
    #Thymus vulgaris
    #Hedera helix

  12. Initially, the thymus was believed to be an endocrine organ because its removal in early life caused changes in the ovaries and testes. Now, we understand these changes were linked to autoimmunity. 🤔🔬💡

  18. The thymus may well involute during life but it's certainly not functionally redundant!

    In its absence...
    - ⬆️ all cause mortality
    - ⬆️ cancer risk
    - ⬆️ risk of autoimmune disease

    > Health Consequences of Thymus Removal in Adults

    Vielen Dank, aber die Wiederentdeckung des antiken #Thymos, unterteilbar in die #Isothymia und die #Megalothymia stammt nicht von mir, sondern vom Politikwissenschaftler Francis Fukuyama in "Identität", 2019. Fand sie jedoch philosophisch und politikwissenschaftlich sehr stark und habe sie daher gerne für den deutschen Sprachraum aufgegriffen. 👇📚😊 (Anatomisch ist der antike Begriff übrigens in den #Thymus eingegangen.)

  21. Dear friends of thyme and time and ​:peppermintos:​,

    #Thymus caborn #wine-and-roses needs full sun has flowers and likes well drained but poor soil. It is drought resistant. May grow it indoors for now ... I also have a Strawberry mint for #Wimbledon Wombles.

    So far only two strawberry flowers from my gay strawberries. I planted them in bright pink pots so they would be gay. Nurture plus nature.
    ​:heart_pride:​

    My LGBT strawberries were a real adventure last year. If mixed with pepper and strawberry mint, berries will make an excellent smoothie or just fruit
    #salad ... Apparently, Strawberry Mint is quite a delicate #mint (also available as a Linux) should start pink #flowering and attracting #bees in July. 🎉

  22. When FTOC's aren't enough:

    'Contrary to two-dimensional cultures, thymic epithelial organoids maintained thymus functionality in vitro and mediated physiological T cell development upon reaggregation with T cell progenitors. The reaggregates showed in vivo-like epithelial diversity and ability to attract T cell progenitors.'

  23. In children and adolescents, the #thymus gland functions as a "school for T cells". The organ in our chest is where the precursors of those T cells that would later attack the body's own cells are discarded. #Epithelial cells in the thymus present a large number of molecules that occur in the body to the future T cells.

  24. Study Reveals Unexpected Importance of the #Thymus in Adults.

    massgeneral.org/news/press-rel

    "The thymus gland is often thought of as nonfunctional in adults & is sometimes #removed during #cardiac #surgery—a process known as thymectomy.
    Compared with adults who did not have their thymus removed, adults who underwent thymectomy had a nearly 3-times higher risk of dying over 5 yrs & a 2-times higher risk of developing #cancer during that time."

  25. 'Useless' Organ That Doctors Often Remove Could Actually Fight #Cancer.

    sciencealert.com/useless-organ

    "There's a small fatty gland that sits behind your sternum and is often said to be 'useless' in adulthood.

    A recent retrospective study, however, suggests the thymus gland is not nearly as expendable as experts once thought."
    #Cancer #Thymus

  26. If neither cancer nor an accident kills you, you'll probably die because of thymic involution (i.e. degeneration of the thymus; the gland in which T cells differentiate, develop, and mature). Even if you die of cancer, it might be the consequence of immunosenescence due to thymic involution.

    So, why isn't there more research into thymic rejuvenation?

  27. The thymus, a small gland behind your sternum, may actually fight cancer, according to a new study. The study found that people who had their thymus removed during heart surgery had a higher risk of death and cancer than those who did not. The study suggests that the thymus, which is often considered ‘useless’ in adulthood, still plays a vital role in the immune system and should be preserved if possible.

  28. Turns out the #Thymus, which doctors sometimes remove during heart surgeries - simply because it's in their way - plays an important role in #immune response - especially against #cancer

  29. "We evaluated the risk of death, cancer, and autoimmune disease among adult patients who had undergone thymectomy as compared with demographically matched controls who had undergone similar cardiothoracic surgery without thymectomy. T-cell production and plasma cytokine levels were also compared in a subgroup of patients."

  30. Der #Thymus ist ein Organ, das in der Kindheit und Jugend lebenswichtig für die Entwicklung der T-Zellen ist. Danach bildet es zurück, im Studium lernten wir alle, dass es danach keine Funktion mehr habe.

    Eine neue Studie deutet bei Personen, denen der Thymus entfernt wurde, darauf hin, dass man ohne Thymus häufiger schweren Infektionen und an Krebs erkrankt.

    Erstaunlich, dass wir immer noch Neues über grundlegende Organfunktionen lernen.

  31. "Runx co-factors compete to recruit a limited pool of Runx factors in early T-progenitors, and a modest increase in Runx protein availability at pre-commitment stages causes premature Runx occupancy at post-commitment binding sites. This results in striking T-lineage developmental acceleration by selectively activating T-identity and innate lymphoid cell programs."
