Scientists develop new organoid model to study thymus function

Microscopy images of mouse thymic epithelial cell (TEC) organoids. The left image shows a TEC organoid in expansion medium, which is a mixture of molecules used to keep the organoids in culture. The right image shows an organoid in differentiation medium, a different mixture of molecules, which directs the cells to specialize into cortical and medullar TECs. The arrows indicate medullar TECs, recognizable by the red dots. Credit: Credit: Sangho Lim. Copyright: Hubrecht Institute.
