  • Title: [Advance of researches on thyroid tissues autotransplantation and embryonic stem cell transplantation in therapy of hypothyroidism].
    Author: Ma Q, Kuang A.
    Journal: Sheng Wu Yi Xue Gong Cheng Xue Za Zhi; 2008 Oct; 25(5):1210-2, 1230. PubMed ID: 19024478.
    Abstract:
    Patients with irreversible hypothyroidism require lifelong levo-thyroxin ( L-T4) replacement therapy, which makes them feel discomfortable. With the development of the thyroid tissues autotransplantation and embryonic stem cell (ESC), this would be a more physiological approach to the treatment of irreversible hypothyroidism. The animal experiments and human clinical trials on thyroid tissues autotransplantation have shown that the autograft can survive and function. The advanced researches have demonstrated that ESC can differentiate into thyroid follicular cells.
