Systems and methods for performing quantitative histopathology analysis for determining tissue potency are disclosed. According to some embodiments, a method training a tissue classifier is provided. According to the method, training the tissue classifier includes generating feature fingerprints of detected nuclei within slide images in a control library and clustering the slide images based on their corresponding feature fingerprints. According to some embodiments, a method for utilizing the trained tissue classifier is provided. According to the method, the trained tissue classifier determines whether tissue in an unknown slide image corresponds to slide images clustered during the training of the tissue classifier.

The present disclosure relates to making a hybrid pig-human thymic tissue and using the hybrid thymic tissue to induce tolerance in xenotransplantation. The hybrid thymic tissue can also be used for restoring or inducing immunocompetence in a recipient as well as restoring or promoting thymus-dependent ability for T cell progenitors to develop into mature functional T cells in a recipient.

Adiponectin-expressing thymocytes and compositions comprising the thymocytes are provided. Methods are provided for using the adiponectin-expressing thymocytes for metabolic regulation and treatment of hyperproliferative diseases.

The invention described herein features methods and compositions for modifying thymic function and/or activity in a subject (e.g., a human, e.g., a human patient in need thereof; or a non-human animal, e.g., a companion animal or an agricultural animal).

Methods and compositions for promoting donor-specific tolerance and immunocompetence to a recipient of a solid organ transplant, by implanting an allogeneic solid organ in a recipient in need of a solid organ transplant and further comprising surgical implantation of a tissue-engineered allogeneic cultured postnatal thymus tissue product in the recipient of a solid organ from a donor.

Methods of producing an allogeneic cultured postnatal thymus tissue-derived product suitable for implantation into a human; methods of culturing allogeneic cultured postnatal thymus tissue-derived product suitable for implantation into a human and methods of using allogeneic cultured postnatal thymus tissue-derived product by implantation in a human subject.

The present disclosure provides methods for generating enhanced affinity T cell receptors by agonist selection of hematopoietic progenitor cells expressing an antigen specific TCR cultured with stromal cells expressing Delta-like-1 or Delta-like-4, compositions prepared from such methods, and uses of thereof.

The present disclosure provides engineered thymic epithelial cells and cell lines, as well as extracellular vesicles derived therefrom. The disclosure also provides exosomes that display specific surface proteins, and provides methods for using said materials for treating subjects and for identifying cells.
