Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of T cell differentiation in the thymus. The change in morphology and behavior of a mature or immature T cell resulting from exposure to a mitogen, cytokine, chemokine, cellular ligand, or an antigen for which it is specific. The process whereby a precursor cell type acquires the specialized features of a T cell via a differentiation pathway dependent upon transit through the thymus. The process by which a precursor cell type acquires characteristics of a more mature T-cell. A T cell is a type of lymphocyte whose definin characteristic is the expression of a T cell receptor complex. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of T cell differentiation in the thymus. The process of T cell selection that occurs in the thymus. The expansion of an immature T cell population by cell division in the thymus. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized precursor cell acquires specialized features of B cells, T cells, or natural killer cells. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of T cell differentiation in the thymus.
