The development and functioning of the nervous system are known to be influenced in
various ways by endocrine signals. In turn, neural tissue modulates internal homeostasis …

In recent years a large amount of data has been gathered on the biology of thyroid hormone
receptors. The receptor proteins have been analyzed from the physiological and structural …

The postnatal development of rat microglia is marked by an important increase in the
number of microglial cells and the growth of their ramified processes. We studied the role of …

Thyroid hormones, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine (T3) are crucial for cerebral cortex
development acting through regulation of gene expression. To define the transcriptional …

Thyroid hormone (T3) regulates the growth and differentiation of rat cerebellar astrocytes.
Previously, we have demonstrated that these effects are due, at least in part, to the …

Astrocyte cells clearly play a role in neural development, but nowadays their total action is
seen as a far wider one. Recent findings consider them as stem cells, involved in the control …

The addition of isolated neurons to monolayers of cultured astrocytes induced a
morphological change in the astrocytes that came into contact with the added neuronal cell …

Thyroid hormones (TH s) play key roles in brain development and function. The lack of TH s
during childhood is associated with the impairment of several neuronal connections …

Thyroid hormones are important for neurogenesis and gliogenesis during brain
development. We have previously demonstrated that triiodothyronine (T3) treatment induced …

Thyroid hormone exhibits profound effects on neural progenitor turnover, survival,
maturation, and differentiation during perinatal development. Studies over the past decade …
