Experimental validations has been performed to test if our map may provide a general reference quantitative model of the thyroid transcriptome. Finally, a quantita- tive gene expression map offers the possibility to high- light differential expression between normal human thyroid and a pool of non-...
“This is a hellish disease. You have to find another person living with it to know you’re alone. It is also expensive to treat. You do a blood test every month or three months and buy daily medicines,” she says. Jacque Gachoka, 35, hypothyroidism ...
