Deskripsi

Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is the most common malignancy of endocrine organs. Here, the authors show the ability of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to recapitulate the different TC histotypes upon specific genomic alterations delivered by CRISPR-Cas9 and identify KISS1R and TIMP1 targeting as a therapeutic adjuvant option for undifferentiated TCs.
