Chromaffin cells have been shown to release a combination of pain-reducing neuroactive compounds including catecholamines and opioid peptides. The allogeneic transplantation of chromaffin cells in the subarachnoid space has been shown to alleviate pain ...

Dual Loss of Rb1 and Trp53 in the Adrenal Medulla Leads to Spontaneous Pheochromocytoma
Using a Cre/loxP system, we have determined the phenotypic consequences attributable to in vivo deletion of both Rb1 and Trp53 in the mouse adrenal medulla.

Paraganglioma of the Urinary Bladder – A Diagnostic Dilemma [PDF]
Paraganglioma of the urinary bladder is a unique neuroendocrine tumour originating from chromaffin tissue of the sympathetic nervous system. Clinically, patients may be asymptomatic or may present with hypertension or haematuria.

Pancreatic paraganglioma mimicking pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor
Extra-adrenal paragangliomas are rare tumors arising from the chromaffin cells of the autonomic nervous system. Retroperitoneal paragangliomas may present as a pancreatic mass.

The surging role of Chromogranin A in cardiovascular homeostasis
Together with Chromogranin B and Secretogranins, Chromogranin A (CGA) is stored in secretory (chromaffin) granules of the diffuse neuroendocrine system and released with noradrenalin and adrenalin.

Preferential release of newly synthesized insulin assessed by a multi-label reporter system using pancreatic β-cell line MIN6. [PDF]
Newly synthesized hormones have been suggested to be preferentially secreted by various neuroendocrine cells. This observation indicates that there is a distinct population of secretory granules containing new and old hormones.

Docking of secretory vesicles is syntaxin dependent.
Secretory vesicles dock at the plasma membrane before they undergo fusion. Molecular docking mechanisms are poorly defined but believed to be independent of SNARE proteins.

Paroxysmal Headache as First Finding of Pheochromocytoma, A Case Report
Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor that develops from the chromaffin cells of the sympathetic nervous system. Although hypertension is the most common manifestation of pheochromocytoma, it is less common in children than in adults.

Introduction: Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is a rare catecholamine-producing tumour arising from chromaffin cells in the sympatho-adrenal system, and can present as asymptomatic adrenal incidentaloma (AI). Patient: We describe the case of a 61-year-old woman
