TLDR
Treatment of human thymus explants with recombinant Shh or neutralising anti-Shh antibody indicated that the Hedgehog pathway is also involved in regulation of differentiation from DP to mature SP T cells in the humanThymus.

Thymic Epithelial Cells

TL;DR: Both historical and the most recent advances in the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling TEC development, function, dysfunction, and regeneration are reviewed.

Thymic Epithelial Cells Contribute to Thymopoiesis and T Cell Development.

TL;DR: Recent advances in classification, development, and maintenance of TECs and mechanisms that control TEC functions during thymic involution and central tolerance are discussed.

Common Variable Immunodeficiency and Liver Involvement

TL;DR: Interestingly, autoimmunity can be the only clinical manifestation of CVID at the time of diagnosis and may even develop prior to hypogammaglobulinemia, and further understanding in the etiology and pathophysiology will facilitate early diagnosis and treatments to improve prognosis.

Cyclopia and defective axial patterning in mice lacking Sonic hedgehog gene function.

TL;DR: Targeted gene disruption in the mouse shows that the Sonic hedgehog(Shh) gene plays a critical role in patterning of vertebrate embryonic tissues, including the brain and spinal cord, the axial skeleton and the limbs.

Vertebrate Hedgehog signalling modulated by induction of a Hedgehog-binding protein

TL;DR: These findings support a model in which Hip attenuates Hedgehog signalling as a result of binding to Hedgehog proteins: a negative regulatory feedback loop established in this way could thus modulate the responses to any Hedgehog signal.

CD5 Expression Is Developmentally Regulated By T Cell Receptor (TCR) Signals and TCR Avidity

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that low level expression of CD5 on CD4−CD8− (double negative, DN) thymocytes is independent of TCR gene rearrangement; however, induction ofCD5 surface expression on DN thymocyte requires engagement of the pre-TCR and is dependent upon the activity of p56lck.

RANK signals from CD4+3− inducer cells regulate development of Aire-expressing epithelial cells in the thymic medulla

TL;DR: A novel role for a CD4+3− inducer cell population, previously linked to development of organized secondary lymphoid structures and maintenance of T cell memory in the functional regulation of Aire-mediated promiscuous gene expression in the thymus, is demonstrated.

Gene regulatory logic for reading the Sonic Hedgehog signaling gradient in the vertebrate neural tube.

TL;DR: It is shown that a spatially and temporally changing gradient of Shh signaling is interpreted by the regulatory logic of a downstream transcriptional network that provides robustness and reliability to tissue patterning.
