Lipid-Laden Multilocular Cells in the Aging Thymus Are Phenotypically Heterogeneous.

Lipid-Laden Multilocular Cells in the Aging Thymus Are Phenotypically Heterogeneous.

Intrathymic lipid-laden multilocular cells (LLMC) are known to express pro-inflammatory factors that might regulate functional activity of the thymus. However, the phenotype of age-associated intrathymic LLMC is still controversial. In this study, we evaluated LLMC density in the aging thymus and be...
