Thymus in a sentence as a noun

The thymus is not the thyroid gland, if that's the connection you're trying to make.

Tregs produced by a normal thymus are termed ‘natural’.

Unfortunately the thymus also loses mass in the process, so as you age, its function decreases.

The thymus tests every new variant to see whether there is any sensitivity to proteins that may expressed in other parts of the body.

Is there a competition between fried thymus and pancreas and a cake made out of cookies and marscapone cheese?BTW my great grandmother would recognize the blood pudding, sweet breads and tripe.

The ability to rejuvenate or regrow the thymus entirely from just a small population of cells, or a few altered protein levels, has come out of left field as something of a pleasant surprise.

The evidence from sex steroid ablation in prostate cancer patients strongly suggests it is possible to provoke the naive T cell component of the adaptive immune system into regenerating itself in a matter of months, provided that the thymus is restored to more youthful activity.

The existing regulatory system will never approve a thymus rejuvenation procedure for someone who is "only" old and immunosenescent, because that is not defined as a disease - that is a healthy person who is merely old, and shouldn't be treated at all in the eyes of the regulator.
