The focus of this eBook is to bring new insights into central immune tolerance. To fulfill that, much has been discussed about the master in the regulation of tolerance, the autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene the main thymus cell type that expresses this gene, the medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). It includes one Editorial and 12 other excellent contributions in the format of mini reviews or original research papers covering one or more of these aspects: promiscuous gene expression (PGE), epigenetics, miRNAs, association of the Aire gene and miRNAs, thymocyte–TEC interaction, coxsackievirus and type 1 diabetes, exosomes in the thymus, thymic crosstalk, thymic B cells, T cell develop...
Thymus physiology and T-cell homeostasis are controlled by hormones, neurotransmitters, cytokines and other factors that modulate stromal-cell interactions, influence thymocyte development and selection processes, survival and migration, between others. In the context of this Research Topic on “Hormones, Neurotransmitters, and T cell development in Health and Disease”, authors discuss the control of thymus physiology by glucocorticoids (GC), growth hormone (GH) and sex hormones, norepinephrine (NE) and other molecules that seem impact upon thymocyte/microenvironmental interactions, like galectin-3 (Gal-3) ephrins (Eph), extracellular matrix proteins and integrins (like VLA-5). Moreover, ...

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian.

Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia.
