Persistence of oligodendrocyte precursor cells and altered myelination in optic nerve associated to retina degeneration in mice devoid of all thyroid hormone receptors

Abstract excerpt

Thyroid hormone (3,5,3'-triiodo-l-thyronine or T3) exerts a pleiotropic activity during central nervous system development. Hypothyroidism during the fetal and postnatal life results in an irreversible mental retardation syndrome. At the cellular level, T3 is known to act on neuronal and glial lineages and to control cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and differentiation. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells...
