How immune cells in the thymus protect our health

This year's Nobel Prize in Medicine

Research conducted by Professor Shimon Sakaguchi of Osaka University in Japan provided fundamental insights into the regulatory processes of our immune system as early as 1995. Already known T cells and the regulatory T cells discovered by Prof. Sakaguchi keep the immune response in balance when it comes to fighting foreign structures.

T cells can recognise and eliminate the body's own cells that have been infected by viruses. They are called T cells because they mature in the thymus. Regulatory T cells keep these T cells under control so that healthy structures in the body are not also affected.

The awarding of this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine highlights the importance of the thymus gland as the central organ for T cell maturation. In the thymus gland itself, specialised epithelial cells and thymus peptides are involved in the maturation of T cells.

As the thymus shrinks with age, the number of these important immune cells also declines and is associated with a reduced immune defence.

The dietary supplement Thymuskin Pro Immun contains the amino acids characteristic of GKL-02 thymus peptides in weighted proportions. This provides the body with certain amino acids via food that it needs for the synthesis of specific peptides.
