ECE2017 Symposia Treatment of hypothyroidism: what have we learned? (3 abstracts)
Rebuilding your own thyroid from stem cells; the future therapy of hypothyroidism?
Anthony Hollenberg
USA.
Advances in stem cell biology and thyroid development have opened up the possibility of developing tissue replacement therapy for hypothyroidism. Indeed, in this session the development from stem cells of functioning thyroid tissue in mice will be reviewed. In addition new insight into the development of this technology in human cells will also be discussed. Importantly, advances in this field may lead to new therapeutic options in congenital or post-surgical hypothyroidism.
