French term

témoin de différentiation cellulaire

French to English Science Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Thesis title, "Thymocytes, témoin de différentiation cellulaire"

Does it mean "control of cellular differentiation" or does "control" here indicate testing, such as in a lab study?

Many thanks in advance!

markers for cell differentiation

The status of thymocytes could reflect cell differentiation. Maybe you have more context?
Note from asker:
Sorry, no further context. It is simply a thesis title listed on a degree.
