Differentiation versus dysfunction: thyroid hormone, deiodinases and retinal photoreceptors
A growing body of evidence has established that thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine, T3) is a key factor in Work Stations the differentiation and survival of the light-sensing photoreceptors in the retina.These functions include a critical role in generating the cone photoreceptor diversity that is required for color vision.Here, we review some of th
