Thyroid parafollicular cells. An accessible model for the study of serotonergic neurons.

Molecular neurobiology - 1 Dec 1996

Russo A F, Clark M S, Durham P L

Abstract excerpt

Serotonergic neurons play key roles in modulating a wide variety of behavioral and homeostatic processes. However, there is a paucity of good model systems to study these neurons at a molecular level. In this review we will present evidence that cell lines derived from an unexpected source, thyroid parafollicular cells (PF) (also called C cells), fit the criteria for use as models for the study of serotonergic...
