Notch signaling regulates Th17 cells differentiation through PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 pathway and involves in the thyroid injury of autoimmune thyroiditis
ConclusionsNotch signal promotes the secretion of IL-17A from Th17 cells by regulating the downstream PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 pathway through Hes-Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and participates in thyroid autoimmune damage, and the PI3K pathway inhibitor may play important effects on AIT by affecting Th17 cells differentiation.

Gamma knife radiosurgery is effective in patients with thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas
ConclusionOur study shows that GKRS is an effective and safe adjuvant treatment for selected patients with residual or recurring TSHoma. The option of GKRS as an alternative treatment to lifelong medical treatment with somatostatin analogs should be thoroughly discussed with the patients.
