Here we investigate the fate of single secretory vesicles after fusion with the plasma membrane by measuring capacitance changes and transmitter release in rat chromaffin cells using the cell ...

Phaeochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting tumours, usually benign, originating from chromaffin cells of the adrenal glands. Their typical presentation includes the triad of headaches, ...

The 2004 WHO classification of endocrine tumors defines pheochromocytoma as a tumor arising from catecholamine-producing chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla -- an intra-adrenal paraganglioma.

The adrenal glands are two small glands located on top of the kidneys. They produce hormones that help regulate heart rate, blood pressure, the immune system, physical stress response, and other ...

Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...

Adrenal fatigue is a common condition, especially among individuals leading a highly active and stressful lifestyle. The adrenal glands are responsible for producing hormones that help regulate ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

CD4 T helper cells are a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte that serves an important role in your immune system. These cells help defend the body against infection by directing other "killer ...

After seven decades with no advances in the treatment of the genetic disorder classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), Neurocrine Biosciences has scored FDA approval for its first-in-class ...
