Doctors have long considered the thymus expendable. But could removing it be fatal?
The thymus, a butterfly-shaped organ that sits between our collarbones, has never seemed like a particularly useful appendage—at least in adults. During early childhood, it provides a place for T cells (the T stands for thymus) to mature into immune cells that attack invaders. But during adolescence the organ begins to shrink and mostly stops producing these cells. By adulthood, it’s assumed to be so useless that cardiac surgeons will occasionally remove it just to get easier access to the heart.
But researchers have recently started to question that assumption, and a study published today in

Tonsils: Tiny, but pack a big punch
The tonsils play an essential role in keeping you healthy. These small, oval-shaped pads at the back of the throat are part of the immune system and make white blood cells. These cells attack and prevent germs that enter your body and making you sick. While small in size, the tonsils can cause considerable pain and discomfort if inflamed. This inflammation is called tonsillitis and typically is due to a viral infection, although bacterial infections… (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)
