Molecular Aspects of Secretory Granule Exocytosis by Neurons and Endocrine Cells [PDF]
Neuronal communication and endocrine signaling are fundamental for integrating the function of tissues and cells in the body. Hormones released by endocrine cells are transported to the target cells through the circulation.

Automated Method for Isolation of Adrenal Medullary Chromaffin Cells from Neonatal Porcine Glands
An automated method for the isolation of neonatal porcine adrenal chromaffin cells is described. Adrenal chromaffin cells are potentially useful for therapeutic transplantation, but current isolation methodology suffers from labor intensiveness and ...

Release of vasopressin from isolated permeabilized neurosecretory nerve terminals is blocked by the light chain of botulinum A toxin [PDF]
The intracellular action on exocytosis of botulinim A toxin and constituent chains was studied using permeabilized isolated nerve endings from the rat neural lobe. The release of the neuropeptide vasopressin was measured by radioimmunoassay.

Mitochondria and chromaffin cell function [PDF]
Chromaffin cells are an excellent model for stimulus-secretion coupling. Ca(2+) entry through plasma membrane voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels (VOCC) is the trigger for secretion, but the intracellular organelles contribute subtle nuances to the Ca(2+) signal.

Effects of Monovalent and Divalent Cations on Ca2+ Fluxes Across Chromaffin Secretory Membrane Vesicles [PDF]
: Bovine chromaffin secretory vesicle ghosts loaded with Na+ were found to take up Ca2+ when incubated in K+ media or in sucrose media containing micromolar concentrations of free Ca2+. Li+- or choline+loaded ghosts did not take up Ca2+.

Adrenal chromaffin cells have been utilized for several neural grafting applications, but limitations in allogeneic donor availability and dangers inherent in auto-grafting limit the widespread use of this approach clinically.

Generation of Adrenal Chromaffin-like Cells from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
Summary: Adrenomedullary chromaffin cells are catecholamine (CA)-producing cells originating from trunk neural crest (NC) via sympathoadrenal progenitors (SAPs). We generated NC and SAPs from human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem

Cellular distribution and amount of chromogranin A in bovine endocrine pancreas [PDF]
We determined the cellular distribution and the amount of chromogranin A in endocrine cells of bovine pancreas using a polyclonal antibody against bovine adrenomedullary chromogranin A. The relative amounts of chromogranin A in the different cells of the

We have found that immunosuppression is necessary for the survival of xenogeneic adrenal medullary transplants. Because chromaffin cells are essentially nonimmunogenic, it is likely that the highly immunogenic “passenger” cells in the transplant ...

The Adrenal Gland of Squamata (Reptilia): A Comparative Overview
The adrenal gland is a complex endocrine organ composed of two components: a steroidogenic tissue, which produces steroid hormones, and a chromaffin tissue, which mainly produces norepinephrine and epinephrine. Through evolution, their relationships with
