This could be due to a malfunction of her thymus.

The thymus is a soft triangular shaped organ that is situated in the mediastinum of the thoracic cavity. The thymus is the predominant donor of cells for the lymphatic system. The thymus performs an important role in the training and growth of T cells (thymus-derived cells) that are produced in the red bone marrow. The T cells defend the body by destroying infected or cancerous cells and harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The thymus also helps in the proper growth of other organs within the immune system.

Which is the main reason cells are replaced in the body?. The cells are too large.. The cells are inactive.. The cells are damag
anygoal [31]

The right answer is The cells are damaged.

Take the example of skin cells.  

The skin consists of two tissues:

* the outermost, the epidermis, resting on a vascularized connective tissue,

* the dermis.

In the epidermis, which includes several layers of cells, the outer layer is formed of dead cells that are desquamating and are constantly being replaced from proliferating basal cell cells. So, in normal conditions, the epidermis is in constant renewal.

On the other hand, when accidentally, the upper parts of the epidermis are damaged, for example, a slight abrasion or of a burn, the destroyed portion is regenerated (replaced) thanks to an accelerated proliferation of basal epidermal cells .
