Deficient thyroid hormone transport to the brain leads to impairments in axonal caliber and oligodendroglial development
Mutations in the thyroid hormone transporter monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) lead to profound brain alterations, including myelination impairments, in humans. We aimed to further explore the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the MCT8 deficiency-associated myelination impairments to unrav...
