A newly identified hormone could hold the secret to slowing biological aging—and making cancer treatments far more effective.

A tiny organ in our chest cavity could be the key to regulating inflammation as we age, according to new research in mice.

Researchers have identified stem cells in the human thymus for the first time. These cells represent a potential new target to understand immune diseases and cancer and how to boost the immune system.

A thymus hormone called thymulin reduced age-related inflammation and improved cancer immunotherapy responses in older mice.

In a Mass General Brigham research lab, a team of scientists found such strong links between thymus health and longevity — and immunotherapy effectiveness — that they literally said, “This cannot be ...
