Thymic homing of activated CD4+ T cells induces degeneration of the thymic epithelium through excessive RANK signaling

Abstract Activated T cells have been shown to be able to recirculate into the thymus from the periphery. The present study was aimed to elucidate the functional consequences of thymic homing of activated T cells upon developing thymocytes and thymic epithelial cells (TEC). In the presence of activat...
