Abstract
Conclusions
1. These studies seem to bring unequivocal experimental proof that Hassall's corpuscles are derivatives of the reticular epithelium; a view originally proposed by Paulitsky and more recently elaborated by Hammar, and supported by many others on the basis of embryological and post fetal histological studies.
2. They also show that in post fetal life the formation of Hassall's corpuscles is- independent of the presence of remnants of the original epithelial ducts of Remak.
