Mice with a Mutation in the Thyroid Hormone Receptor β Gene Spontaneously Develop Thyroid Carcinoma: A Mouse Model of Thyroid Carcinogenesis
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
The molecular genetic basis of thyroid carcinogenesis is not well understood. Most of the existing models of thyroid cancer only rarely show metastases, and this has limited progress in the understanding of the molecular events in thyroid cancer invasion and metastasis. We have recently generated a mutant mouse by introducing a dominant negative mutant thyroid hormone nuclear receptor gene, TRbetaPV, into the...
