Longitudinal Studies Section
The Longitudinal Studies Section of the Translational Gerontology Branch of the Intramural Program of the National Institute on Aging focuses on mechanisms underlying heterogeneity in human health and function with aging, including molecular, cellular, physiologic and behavioral factors. In addition to our longitudinal studies of aging, including BLSA and Gestalt, we carry out smaller human studies of mechanisms and collaborate with other laboratories to pursue translational aging research across species.

Unliganded thyroid hormone receptor may play role in development
A novel animal study has uncovered clues to embryo developmental timing and growth rates. The study, recently published in Endocrinology, should prompt further research and improve the understanding on the role of the thyroid hormone (T3) signaling pathway during early development, according to lead author Yun-Bo Shi, PhD, of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute Child Health and Human Development.
