Developing an in vitro model of tissue expansion in Graves ophthalmopathy: exploring the role of IGF1 receptor targeting as a novel treatment

Ezra Daniel , Rose Geoffrey , Bailly Maryse

Introduction: One of the most promising potential targets for new treatments in Graves ophthalmopathy (GO) is the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R). However, a significant impediment to the translational pathway in developing new treatments for GO is the lack of any animal or in vitro model.Aims: To characterise dysregulation of IGF1 pathway related gene expression in GO. To develop a new in vitro model for tissue expansion in G...
