Age-related morphological changes in Hassall’s corpuscles of different maturity in vertebrate animals and humans

Resumo

A comparative morphological study on Hassall’s corpuscles of different maturity in vertebrate animals and humans with consideration of the age was carried out by light microscopy. It was found that the number and size of Hassall’s corpuscles of different maturity depend on age, as well as the environmental conditions. Conclusions on the functional role of Hassall’s corpuscles were drawn based on the present study.
