## Abstract The current prevailing view regarding the role of Aire in selfโtolerance is that it is involved in the transcriptional control of many tissueโrestricted selfโantigen genes in thymic epithelial cells in the medulla (mTECs); however, accumulating evidence also suggests that Aire has other
## Abstract Cytokines and adhesion receptors are key mediators in the dialog occurring between thymic epithelial cells (TEC) and thymocytes and regulating Tโcell maturation and epithelial embryonic differentiation. Among cytokines, ILโ6 can be critical in the thymus, fostering proliferation, differ
