Development is the process whereby a multipotent cell gives rise, through series of divisions, to progeny with successively restricted potentials. During T cell development, the process begins with a multipotent hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) in the bone marrow, moves to the thymus where early T cell

During the past year, there have been rapid advances in our understanding of the early events of T-cell development, at the molecular level. Studies at the transcriptional level of T-cell receptor gene regulation have started to yield important clues about how different T-cell-specific genes can sha
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
Transcription factors control gene expression programs in the context of the chromatin structure of their target genes. DNA methylation, post-translational histone modifications such as acetylation and methylation, and higher order chromatin organization allow the maintenance of gene expression patt
