The amphibian model Xenopus, has been used extensively over the past century to study
multiple aspects of cell and developmental biology. Xenopus offers advantages of a non …

In multicellular organisms, development is based in part on the integration of communication
systems. Two neuroendocrine axes, the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid and the …

Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates diverse developmental events and can drive disparate
cellular outcomes. In zebrafish, TH has opposite effects on neural crest derived pigment …

Hormonal control of development during the human perinatal period is critically important
and complex with multiple hormones regulating fetal growth, brain development, and organ …

Thyroid hormone (TH) is the most important hormone in frog metamorphosis, a
developmental process which will not occur in the absence of TH but can be induced …

A hormone-dependent developmental transition from aquatic to terrestrial existence occurs
in all tetrapod vertebrates, such as birth, hatching, and metamorphosis. Thyroid hormones …

Tail resorption in anuran tadpoles is one of the most physically and physiologically notable
phenomena in developmental biology. A tail that is over twice as long as the tadpole trunk is …

During development in all vertebrates, thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are expressed
before as well as during and after the peak in plasma thyroid hormone (TH) levels …

Abstract Thyroid hormone (T3) receptors (TRs) mediate the effects of T3 on organ
metabolism and animal development. There are two TR genes, TR α and TR β, in all …

Thyroid hormone (T3) is critical not only for organ function and metabolism in the adult but
also for animal development. This is particularly true during the neonatal period when T3 …
