In 2012, we learned that functional thyroid tissue can be generated in vitro, and that thyroid hormones stimulate autophagy. Patients with defects in TRα have been identified, and ...

Soot and dust alters thyroid development in fetuses before they are born in smoggy cities, raising concern about health impacts later in life, new research shows. Scientists focused on more than 2,000 ...

Researchers have discovered a new efficient way to generate thyroid cells, known as thyrocytes, using genetically modified embryonic stem cells. The findings are the first step to developing a similar ...

Based on in situ hybridization and hypothyroid studies, thyroid hormone appears to target photoreceptor development. The hormone may be acting in at least two ways. It could instruct neuronal ...

Somatic mutations can be identified in two-thirds of papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas and 'hot' thyroid nodules, whereas equivalent mutations relevant for benign 'cold' thyroid nodules are ...

Thyroid hormones control our everyday metabolism, but they're already crucial before birth: they are essential for the development of the organs, including the brain. And when the transporters of ...

A new way of generating thyroid cells called thyrocytes make help to develop new therapies for thyroid disorders, reveals study. A new way to generate thyroid cells known as thyrocytes using ...

Thyroid cancer is a type of cancer that particularly affects females. While its exact causes are largely unknown, multiple risk factors can contribute to its development, including genetic factors.

Medically reviewed by Kelly Wood, MD Key Takeaways High TSH levels can mean you have an underactive thyroid or a pituitary gland tumor.Low TSH levels can mean you have an overactive thyroid or issues ...

While the developing retina shares much in common with other developing neural structures, it offers key experimental advantages. First, all seven of the basic retinal cell types have been identified ...

Soot and dust alters thyroid development in fetuses before they are born in smoggy cities, raising concern about health impacts later in life, new USC research shows. It means before a doctor cuts the ...
