ThymUS Conference 2008
9-14 November, the El San Juan Resort, San Juan, PR. Topics include
all aspects of thymus biology, such as organogenesis, progenitors from
various sources, function of the thymic microenvironment, lineage
specification and lineage diversity, selection, tolerance, and
homeostasis. A further emphasis is placed on disorders relating to the
thymus, in cluding autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, immunosenescence,
and cancer.
