TLDR
The presence and distribution of immunoreactive calcitonin (iCT) in the anuran (Rana pipiens) ultimobranchial gland was examined with a specific antiserum to salmon calciton in order to explain the increase in iCT in the gland in response to a vitamin D and high calcium challenge.About:

On the Origin of Cells and Derivation of Thyroid Cancer: C Cell Story Revisited.
Mikael Nilsson,Dillwyn Williams +1 more
TL;DR: It is envisaged that novel factors implicated in C cell-derived tumour growth and progression will be discovered as the mechanisms that regulate lineage expansion of embryonic C cell precursors from pharyngeal endoderm are uncovered.

Ultimobranchial glands in the teleost (Plecoglossus altivelis ryukyuensis): special references to changes of gland volume with maturation.
TL;DR: It became clear that the value of the follicle wall was significantly increased only in maturing and mature females with high plasma Ca levels and that thevalue of the lumen did not show any statistically significant changes during growth and maturation.

TL;DR: In the crab-eating frog Rana cancrivora, taken from a full-strength seawater pond, the in situ levels of serum Na, Cl, K, Ca, Mg, Pi, urea, and osmolarity were examined and were higher than those usually reported for freshwater anurans.

A comparison of cell replacement in bone marrow, testis and three regions of surface epithelium.
TL;DR: A review of newer developments suggesting that the fraction of stem cells is low brings epithelial tissues into line with haematopoiesis and spermatogenesis and emphasises the similarities between three epithelial regions (skin, tongue and intestine) and bone marrow and testis.

Cytophysiology of Thyroid Parafollicular Cells
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the cytophysiology of thyroid parafollicular cells, the most important function of the thyroid gland, which is the synthesis, storage, and secretion into the blood of two iodinated amino-acid hormones, L-thyroxine and 3,5,3 ' -triiodo-L-thyronine.
