Cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs) form unique parenchyma cell population of the thymus which critically contribute to the development of T cells. Thymus tissue is compartmentalized into cortex and medulla and each of these two compartments...
A Langerhans cell (LC) is a tissue-resident macrophage of the skin once thought to be a resident dendritic cell. These cells contain organelles called Birbeck granules. They are present in all layers of the epidermis and are most prominent in the...

Trogocytosis (Greek: trogo; gnaw) is when a cell nibbles another cell. It is a process whereby lymphocytes (B, T and NK cells) conjugated to antigen-presenting cells extract surface molecules from these cells and express them on their own surface....
Tumor protein p53-inducible nuclear protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TP53INP1 gene. In mice this protein is also called TRP53INP1 and is encoded by the Trp53inp1 gene. The protein is also referred to as SIP or "stress...
