摘要: In 1979 when we published the first reports describing presence of sex steroid receptors in thymic tissue,1–3 area immuno-endocrinology did not exist. Endocrinologists and immunologists were worlds apart, scientific societies inadvertently fostered this separatism because specialization insulation fields.
