About this Research Topic
With this Research Topic we set to exploit in a series of manuscripts new advances establishing thyroid hormones as pivotal player in vertebrate development by providing a developmental as well as evolutionary picture to how these hormones action become so important in vertebrate development. Potential topics include, among others:
1. TH role in development of invertebrates
2. Amphioxus development and TH
3. Lamprey metamorphosis and TH
4. Teleost embryogenesis and maternal thyroid
5. Flatfish metamorphosis
6. TRs in amphibian metamorphosis
7. E. coqui direct development
8. Axolot development
9. Development of the HPT axis in vertebrates
10. TH role in avian development
11. TH in turtles/reptiles development
12. Human development and TH
13. Role of TH in amphibian neurogenesis
14. TH role in mammalian brain development/ neurogenesis
15. Eye development during amphibian metamorphosis
16. TH role in ears and eye development in mammals
17. TH role in amphibian gut development
18. TH role in mammalian gut development
19. Role of TH in amphibian tail regression
20. TH in bone development
21. Endocrine disruption of TH driven events
22. TR in development future perspective
This collection is the second volume of The Role of Thyroid Hormones in Vertebrate Development
