DictionarySeecellthymic epithelial cell
thymic epithelial cellThe epithelial cells that form the internal scaffolding of the thymus. These cells vary in shape and size but generally align in sheets and cords, partitioning the thymus into islands of close-packed lymphocytes in the organ's cortex. Thymic epithelial cells are not simply structural and they interact actively with adjacent lymphocytes. See also: cellLegalSeeCellAcronymsSeeTEC |
