Knowledge about the cells giving rise to and maintaining the thymic structure remains limited. In this issue of Immunity, Sekai et al. (2014) identify a postnatal self-renewing unipotential progenitor population capable of generating thymic medullary cells and lay the foundation for research into thymic regeneration.
关于产生和维持胸腺结构的细胞的知识仍然有限。在本期《免疫》中，Sekai 等人（2014）鉴定出一种具有产生胸腺髓质细胞能力的出生后自我更新的单能祖细胞群体，并为胸腺再生的研究奠定了基础。
