Revising the embryonic origin of thyroid C cells in mice and humans

TL;DR: With lineage tracing, this work provides direct evidence that Sox17+ anterior endoderm is the only source of differentiated C cells and their progenitors in mice, disproving the current concept of a neural crest origin of thyroid neuroendocrine cells and revise mammalian C cell ontogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression profiling at early organogenesis reveals both common and diverse mechanisms in foregut patterning.

TL;DR: A regulatory pathway involving the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl2 that controls cell survival in early thyroid development is described and described as an initial step in this direction to discover organ specific as well as common developmental mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Msx1 and tgf-β3 are novel target genes functionally regulated by foxe1

TL;DR: It is shown that all the known forkhead-domain mutations, but not the polyalanine-stretch polymorphisms, affect the FOXE1 ability to bind to and transactivate MSX1 and TGF-β3 promoters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding type 2 diabetes: from genetics to epigenetics

TL;DR: Recent evidence from the literature supporting the immediate need for further investigation to uncover the power of epigenetics in the prediction, prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes is discussed.
