Title: Thymic mimicry: The art of imitation
Abstract: Display of tissue self-antigens within the thymus is critical for the regulation of self-reactive T cells. In this issue of JEM, Michelson et al. (2023. J. Exp. Med.https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20230461) continue to advance our understanding of self-antigen representation by medullary thymic epithelial cells, identifying a new role for Hnf4γ in the regulation of thymic mimetic cells as well as their peripheral counterparts. © 2023 Cabric and Brown.
