Thymic corpuscles, also known as Hassall's corpuscles, are not the site of T-lymphocyte maturation. Instead, they are involved in the education of T-lymphocytes, particularly in the development of T regulatory cells, and possibly in the deletion of self-reactive T cells. T-lymphocyte maturation primarily occurs in the thymic cortex.
