#MCT8 Deficiency, or Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, is a rare severe disorder of #thyroid hormone transport. In our newest paper, we review the state of the art on pathophysiology, diagnosis & treatment.

Systems modelling explains: A #cybernetic theory of the molecular processes in #COVID-19 predicts oscillatory #inflammation and virus load in severe forms, which result from increased #TMPRSS2 expression.
Severe #COVID-19 is a life-threatening condition, sometimes requiring #ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) therapy. In one of our studies, we found that oscillatory inflammation heralds a poor prognosis.

#Endocrine feedback loops belong to the important foundations of life. However, consistent underlying rules are still lacking. Now, Moriya Raz, Uri Alon, and co-authors describe 5 classes of control circles.

#Takotsubo syndrome is a dangerous stress-related #heart disease. Since #T3 upregulates β-receptors, we assumed a link to #thyroid homeostasis. With machine learning, we identified interesting allostatic patterns.

A new #TRURL app has been released. TRURL B follows the design of the famous calculators created by Dietrich Lubs and Dieter Rams for the German company Braun.
It implements all fundamental operations plus power, square, square root, and the inverse operation.
There is an ongoing debate in #endocrinology about whether to treat #hypothyroidism with L-T4 alone or a combination therapy with L-T4 and L-T3. But what about patients’ preferences? The majority would choose the combination therapy, as shown in a meta-analysis.
