As suggested by the in situ hybridization and hypothyroid studies, thyroid hormone appears to affect progenitor cell behavior. Progenitors express a multitude of genes that influence a series of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Impaired angiogenesis during the fetal period is associated with thyroid dysfunction at birth, shows new research in a cohort of newborn babies from the Generation R Study (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) ...

Hypothyroidism is the most common congenital endocrine disorder, occurring in 1 of 3000 newborns because of complete or partial failure of thyroid development or thyroid hormone production. 11 Thyroid ...

Levels of thyroid hormone in babies influence insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas, according to a new study published in the Journal of Physiology. The team of scientists from the UK, US, and ...

The thyroid is a small but important gland. Shaped like a butterfly, it’s located just below the Adam’s apple in the neck. The thyroid controls the body’s metabolism and maintains a general state of ...

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.

Over the last decade, experiments addressing thyroid hormone's role in the retina have generated a sizeable body of data. They have also inspired many more questions that will no doubt be tested in ...

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 ...
