Your thymus gland sits atop your heart inside your chest. For most of us, as we grow older the thymus gland becomes smaller and smaller. Well, the thymus gland plays a very important role in the functioning of the immune system. Because it is in the thymus gland that T lymphocytes mature and become fully functional. Hence their name, T for Thymus, lymphocytes.
T lymphocytes are the part of the immune system that seek and destroy cancer cells.
They coordinate the immune system's response to cancer. If the T lymphocytes are not fully mature, they will not be able to direct the rest of the immune system to attack the cancer. This is one reason why, as we grow older, we become more susceptible to cancer. Biopro Thymic Protein A is a very unique product that is the result of Dr. Terry Beardsley's life-long research on the thymus gland. Dr. Beardsley discovered a way to culture thymus cells in the laboratory.
