Abstract(s)

The thyroid hormone is an important signaling molecule system involved in vertebrate development, acting at the embryonic and post-embryonic levels (1). Although this has long been established, a detailed understanding of the thyroid hormone’s developmental action still needs to be fully understood. The present Frontiers in Endocrinology Research Topic aims to close this knowledge gap by bringing together a collection of papers addressing what is known and the challenges ahead on the role of thyroid hormones in vertebrate development, from teleosts to humans. The published manuscripts highlight the pivotal action of thyroid hormones in vertebrate neurodevelopment (Lee at al.; Ng et al.; O’Shaughnessy et al.; Richard et al.; Silva and Campinho; Valcárcel-Hernández et al.), post natal development in amphibians (8–10) and how thyroid disorders can affect human development (Ru et al.; SeyedAlinaghi et al.).
