Age-related thymic decline impairs #Tcell #immunity, increasing infection risk in the #elderly. This study shows that enhancing #thymic function in aged mice restores naïve T cells and improves immune responses, thus supporting thymic regeneration in aging @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/46yMgW3

Thymoma and Thymic Carcinoma are both very rare cancers (0.13-0.26 per 100,000 people per year per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymoma). It's 14 years since my diagnosis as stage 4B and inoperable. But things turned out fine (after 4 months of chemo followed by 6.5 hrs of surgery, and 5 weeks of daily radiation), obviously, though I have a CT scan annually.
