Abstract: One of the long-standing questions in immunology has been whether the thymus -- the main site for the production of T cells -- remains active throughout life. This question has finally been answered by measuring the levels of a by-product of T-cell formation that disappears with age. And the answer is that the thymus is, indeed, active into old age.
