Anatomical Structures, Cell Types, plus Biomarkers (ASCT+B) table for Thymus, v1.5

Anatomical Structures, Cell Types, plus Biomarkers (ASCT+B) tables (https://humanatlas.io/asctb-tables) aim to capture<br>the nested thymus structure of anatomical human body parts, the typology of cells, and biomarkers used to identify<br>cell types. The tables are authored and reviewed by an international team of experts. The thymus ASCT+B table provides<br>a comprehensive mapping of the anatomical structures, cell types, and biomarkers associated with the human thymus. It<br>includes detailed information on thymic epithelial cells (TECs), such as cortical (cTECs) and medullary (mTECs)<br>subtypes, which play crucial roles in T cell development and selection. The table also encompasses various stages of<br>thymocyte maturation and associated biomarkers, facilitating a deeper understanding of thymic function and its role in<br>the immune system. A description of this thymus ASCT+B table can be found in ""Anatomical Structures, Cell Types, and<br>Biomarkers Tables Plus 3D Reference Organs in Support of a Human Reference Atlas"" by Börner et al. 2021. The database<br>and code used to generate the more simplified view of the thymus in these ASCT+B tables may be found here:<br>(https://github.com/hubmapconsortium/hra-vccf). <br><br>**Bibliography:** <br><br>* Börner, Katy, Sarah A.
