    Keywords : thyroid; congenital hypothyroidism; thyroid dysgenesis; cadherins; pharyngeal arch arteries; Shh; Tbx1;

    Abstract : Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is untreated a major cause of mental retardation. The majority of cases are due to malformations of the gland (dysgenesis). Little is known of molecular mechanisms regulating thyroid morphogenesis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Insulin-Degrading Enzyme : A link between insulin resistance and Alzheimer's disease

    Author : Helena Kullenberg; Marie Svedberg; Maria Kumlin; Thomas Nyström; Michael Alvarsson; Sophiahemmet Högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background: Prior research has demonstrated an elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) among individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Insulin resistance is a potential common link between these conditions, and it is associated with AD due to the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), which also degrades amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain.
