Failing thymus function is associated with immunodeficiency and/or autoimmunity. In this volume, leading experts provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in thymopoiesis research. The chapters cover the development of the thymic epithelial microenvironment, address the formation of a diverse and self-tolerant repertoire of T cell receptors as the basis for cellular immunity, discuss the mechanisms by which progenitor cells colonize the thymus and detail the molecular basis for T lineage decisions. The reviews illustrate the important role of the multifaceted process of thymopoiesis for adaptive immunity. 410 0$aCurrent Topics in Microbiology and Immunology,$x0070-217X ;$v373 606 $aImmunology 606 $aHuman physiology 606 $aCytogenetics 606 $aImmunology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B14000 606 $aHuman Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004 606 $aCytogenetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12040 615 0$aImmunology. 615 0$aHuman physiology. 615 0$aCytogenetics. 615 14$aImmunology. 615 24$aHuman Physiology. 615 24$aCytogenetics. 676 $a611.01816 702 $aBoehm$b Thomas$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTakahama$b Yousuke$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298311503321 996 $aThymic Development and Selection of T Lymphocytes$92498382 997 $aUNINA
