THE parafollicular cells named by Nonidez1 are the second type of glandular cells which make up the mammalian thyroid glands. They occur along the basal (interstitial) surface of the follicular ...

A medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland was examined by electron microscopy, histochemistry and bioassay for thyrocalcitonin. Numerous secretory granules were present in the cytoplasm of the neo ...

We conclude that main cells of the solid cell nests display a basal/stem cell phenotype (p63 and basal cytokeratin positivity), whereas C-cells show features of parafollicular differentiation.

This polypeptide hormone is made up of 32 amino acids and is produced mainly by the parafollicular cells (also known as C cells) of the thyroid gland. In fish, ...

The multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (MKI), lenvatinib, is widely used to treat advanced and metastatic thyroid cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms by which thyroid cancer cells ...
