1. Hassall's corpusclesHassall's corpuscles (or thymic corpuscles) are structures found in the medulla of the human thymus, formed from eosinophilic type VI epithelial reticular cells arranged concentrically. They are named for Arthur Hill Hassall, who discovered them in 1849. The function of Hassall's corpuscles is currently unclear, and the absence of this structure in the murine thymus has restricted mechanistic dissection. It is known that Hassall's corpuscles are a potent source of the cytokine TSLP.
