Heterotopic adrenal gland in undescendent testis – Case report
Heterotopic adrenal cortex is usually found in the kidney, retroperitoneum and spermatic cord. The adrenal gland has a dual embryonic origin: the cortex arises from the mesoderm and the medulla from ectoderm of the neural crest. Adrenal cortex and gonads

The involvement of Nek2 and Notch in the proliferation of rat adrenal cortex triggered by POMC-derived peptides. [PDF]
The adrenal gland is a dynamic organ that undergoes constant cell turnover. This allows for rapid organ remodeling in response to the physiological demands of the HPA axis, which is controlled by proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides, such as ...

Localisation of the melanocortin-2-receptor and its accessory proteins in the developing and adult adrenal gland [PDF]
The melanocortin-2-receptor (MC2R)/MC2R accessory protein (MRAP) complex is critical to the production of glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex. Inactivating mutations in either MC2R or MRAP result in the clinical condition familial glucocorticoid ...

Expression of progenitor markers is associated with the functionality of a bioartificial adrenal cortex. [PDF]
Encapsulation of primary bovine adrenocortical cells in alginate is an efficacious model of a bioartificial adrenal cortex. Such a bioartificial adrenal cortex can be used for the restoration of lost adrenal function in vivo as well as for in vitro ...

Characterization of Group I Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors in Rat and Human Adrenal Glands
Glutamate and its receptors have been demonstrated to promote both basal and nicotine-evoked catecholamine release in bovine chromaffin cells. Multiple glutamate receptors, including metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), are found in the adrenal ...

The role of primary cilia and sonic hedgehog signalling in adrenal development function. [PDF]
PhDPrimary cilia are sensory organelles found on most vertebrate cells during interphase. They play key roles in development, cell signalling and cancer, and are involved in signal transduction pathways such as Hh and Wnt signalling.

Incidental Adrenal Masses: A Case Report of an Adrenal Oncocytoma [PDF]
A 59-year-old woman underwent an abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan to rule out non-obstructive urolithiasis. The patient was asymptomatic, with the exception of occasional bilateral low back pain.
