DescriptionFunction of the thymus - Inside the Thymus.webm
English: ThymiStem in collaboration with animator Cameron Duguid have created a beautiful, hand drawn animation explaining the function of the thymus, an essential organ of the immune system. The video shows how T cells, a type of white blood cell, go through a complex journey in the thymus to become mature immune cells ready to fight off infection. Given how essential the thymus is for a healthy immune system, ThymiStem scientists are trying to understand how to they can use stem cells to repair and regenerate this organ. Their ultimate goal is to develop therapies for patients with damaged or absent thymuses. Such treatments will also be of great value to the elderly, as the thymus becomes smaller and less able to produce the T cells necessary to fight infections as we age.
