Molecular and cellular changes in Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) skin during metamorphosis

Metamorphosis in vertebrates is driven by thyroid hormones (THs) and in flatfish consists in the extraordinary transformation of a symmetric pelagic larva into an asymmetric benthic juvenile. The mechanisms underlying how THs can orchestrate the cellular, morphological and functional modifications a...
