Chronic lymphopenia, in particular, T-lymphocyte deficiency, increases the risk of death from cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and serves as a risk factor for a severe course and poor outcome of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. The regeneration of T-lymphocytes is a complex multilevel process, many questions of which still remain unanswered. The present review considers two main pathways of increasing the T-cell number in lymphopenia: production in the thymus and homeostatic proliferation in the periphery. Literature data on the signals that regulate each pathway are summarized. Their contribution to the quantitative and qualitative restoration of the immune cell pool is analyzed. The features of CD4 and CD8 T-lymphocytes' regeneration are considered.
