🧬 Thymic Selection Simulator: How T Cells Learn Self from Non-Self

Watch developing T cells drift through a 3D thymus and get tested against self-peptide-MHC: too weak an affinity means death by neglect, too strong means deletion by negative selection, and only the middle band survives to become tolerant, self-restricted T cells.
