an Endocrinology Basic Science Collection
Read this collection of recent Endocrinology articles about progress toward understanding the diverse and complex roles of the nuclear receptors of thyroid hormone, triiodothyronine. The collection was completed in June 2025.
Topics covered include the 40th birthday of seminal articles describing the cloning of the genes that encode the nuclear receptors of thyroid hormone, thyroid hormones and their receptors’ roles during vertebrate development, thyroid hormone’s effects on cardiovascular functions, transcriptional cofactors for thyroid hormone receptors, structural insights into hormone receptors, and their function in GABAergic neurons during development and in adults.

Basic Science Collections in Endocrinology are collections of mini-reviews that editors invited from prominent scholars with the intention of providing cohesive, expert discussion of a set of conceptually linked topics that have seen important recent progress. An introductory article serves as a “hub” that connects and introduces the reviews within each collection, using “companion articles” links in the right-hand rail of each article’s XML presentation.
