The Claim
Connexin 43 expression is detectable at both the protein and mRNA levels in human thyroid tissue, confirming its presence as a functional component of thyroid cell communication in humans, consistent with prior findings in animal models.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In human thyroid tissue, scientists can detect Connexin 43 at both the protein and genetic message levels, indicating that this protein is present and likely involved in how thyroid cells communicate with each other, as previously observed in animal studies.

Connexin 43 expression in human thyroid tissue is detectable at both the protein and mRNA levels, confirming its presence as a functional component of thyroid cell communication in humans, consistent with prior findings in animal models.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Differential expression of connexin 43 in human autoimmune thyroid disease.
Scientists found that a protein called connexin 43 exists in human thyroid tissue, just like it does in animals, meaning thyroid cells can talk to each other using this protein. This confirms what earlier studies suggested.
