Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and at University College London (UCL) have rebuilt a human thymus using human stem cells and a bioengineered scaffold. The thymus is an essential organ in the immune system, and the achievement represents an important step towards being able to construct an artificial thymus for transplant therapy. Sara Campinoti, PhD, a researcher at the Crick Institute’s Epithelial Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory, said, “Showing it is possible to build a working thymus from human cells is a crucial step towards being able to grow thymi which could one day be used as transplants.”
