Cover Story: Thyroid hormones (THs) are vital for human brain development, and their dysregulation has been linked to cognitive impairment and neurodevelopmental disorders. Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) frequently exhibit thyroid dysfunction, yet its specific cellular and molecular impacts on neural cells remain underexplored. Here, we used human iPSC-derived NPCs, neurons, and astrocytes to dissect THs signaling across trisomy 21 iPSC-derived neural cells. We identified cell-type-specific alterations in the expression of deiodinases, transporters, receptors, and TH-responsive genes. Functional impairments in glutamatergic signaling were also detected. Our findings highlight THs dysregulation as one of the components of DS neurobiology and suggest novel therapeutic targets for early intervention. View this paper
