Thyroid hormone receptor alpha (THR) is a nuclear hormone receptor that binds triiodothyronine (T3) and acts as an important transcription factor in development, metabolism, and reproduction. The coding gene, , has two major splicing isoforms in mammals, and , which encode THR1 and THR1, respectively. The better characterized isoform, THR1, is a transcriptional stimulator of genes involved in cell metabolism and growth.

Substantial loss of cardiomyocytes during heart attacks and onset of other cardiovascular diseases is a major cause of mortality. Preservation of cardiomyocytes during cardiac injury would be the most effective strategy to manage these diseases in clinic. However, there is no effective treatment strategy that is able to prevent cardiomyocyte loss.

To determine the cancer risk in thyroid nodules using ACR TI-RADS. A retrospective analysis of all thyroid biopsies was performed over a 3-year period (2021 to 2023). Variables including gender, age, history of thyroid cancer or neck irradiation, nodule size and location, TR level, and sonographic features such as punctate echogenic foci (PEF), a very hypoechoic appearance, taller-than-wide shape, and suspected extrathyroidal extension were analyzed.

Background/objectives: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a highly aggressive tumor, as it is characterized by a high probability of local recurrence and distant metastases, even after surgical treatment. Early detection of disease recurrence is critical for improving long-term treatment outcomes and overall patient survival. By comparing different radiopharmaceuticals, this analysis aimed to strengthen existing guidelines and help bridge the gap between the recommendations of the ESMO and the ATA, highlighting the importance of PET/CT scanning in the postoperative follow-up of patients with MTC.

Machine learning (ML) is a type of artificial intelligence that assists computers in the acquisition of knowledge through data analysis, thus creating machines that can complete tasks otherwise requiring human intelligence. Among its various applications, it has proven groundbreaking in healthcare as well, both in clinical practice and research. In this editorial, we succinctly introduce ML applications and present a study, featured in the latest issue of the .
