Considerable progress has been achieved in the identification and analysis of regulatory molecules that orchestrate B and T cell fate determination. IL-7 and Notch signaling appear to represent analogous pathways that direct B and T cell fates, respectively. For the B lineage, it is possible to asse
Recent findings suggest that mature T cells in the thymus may regulate the growth and differentiation of immature thymocytes. Here we use mathematical modeling and computer simulations to identify the thymocyte subsets that might serve as targets for regulation, and the processes that might be affec
