Hassall’s corpuscles (or thymic corpuscles (bodies)) are structures found in the medulla of the human thymus formed from eosinophilic type VI epithelial reticular cells arranged concentrically. Newer studies indicate that Hassall’s corpuscles differentiate from medullary thymic epithelial cells after they lost Autoimmune regulator (Aire) expression.
