Scientists in the RIKEN Research Center for Allergy and Immunology have recently made a discovery that disproves a widely believed model for the process of hematopoiesis and, instead, proposes a novel model. They have revealed that T cell progenitors in the adult thymus produce not only T lymphocytes, but also macrophages, phagocytic cells that belong to myeloid lineage. This work was done by Hiroshi Kawamoto, a team leader of Laboratory for Lymphocyte Development, together with his colleagues including Haruka Wada, a research scientist, and Yoshimoto Katsura, a visiting scientist of the research team. This work will be published in Nature (month, date).
