Second impact of an acute total body irradiation on gene expression of mature medullary thymic epithelial cells

The impact of sublethal irradiation on the thymus is reportedly bimodal. Alghout the second impact of acute irradiation has been acknowledged for thymocytes, its influence on thymic epithelial cells remains to be elucidated. In this study, we aim to elucidate this influence of the second impact on gene expression of mature medullary thymic epithelial cells.
