FOXN1: a master regulator gene of thymic epithelial development programme
T cell ontogeny is a sophisticated process, which takes place within the thymus through a series of well-defined discrete stages.The process requires a proper lympho-stromal interaction.In particular, cortical and medullary thymic epithelial cells (cTECs, mTECs) drive T cell differentiation, education and selection processes, while the thymocyte-de
