Dr. Fagman:
This is to understand ectopic thyroid, thyroid at wrong place, but more generally speaking, we hope this could contribute to the understanding of how cells move in general because you know cells move throughout the organ, throughout the body in development but also cancer cells move. They have to find their way to disseminate, to set a metastasis somewhere, and that is also one aspect of cell movement that we hope research on using the thyroid for modern system could contribute to.
