I have posted this request before and have received no replies to date. I 
really need some help; just about anything will do. I cannot find a 
reference to a rather basic phenomenon: the involution of the thymus with 
age. I am looking for a rather straightforward anatomical and/or 
histological description of the process. Texts always mention the process 
and speculate on its relatiionship to waning T-cell function, but there are 
never references. Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.
