7. Transcriptional regulation of thyroid development possible interplay of endoderm- and mesoderm-derived morphogenetic signals
Abstract : Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) affects 1 in 3000 children and is the major cause of treatable mental retardation. Most cases are due to malformations of the gland, collectively named thyroid dysgenesis. The disease results from defective thyroid organogenesis during embryonic life. READ MORE

8. Regulatory Effects of TGF-β Superfamily Members on Normal and Neoplastic Thyroid Epithelial Cells
Abstract : Thyroid growth and function is partly regulated by growth factors binding to receptors on the cell surface. In the present thesis, the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily members have been studied for their role in regulation of growth and differentiation of both normal and neoplastic thyroid epithelial cells.
