Transplantation of Encapsulated Bovine Chromaffin Cells in the Sheep Subarachnoid Space: A Preclinical Study for the Treatment of Cancer Pain

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 1994
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

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2010
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]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018
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

open access: yesRare Tumors, 2020
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2014
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
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.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2006
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

open access: yesJournal of Contemporary Medicine, 2021
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.

Viability and Functionality of Bovine Chromaffin Cells Encapsulated into Alginate-PLL Microcapsules with a Liquefied Inner Core

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2006
Implantation of adrenal medullary bovine chromaffin cells (BCC), which synthesize and secrete a combination of pain-reducing neuroactive compounds including catecholamines and opioid peptides, has been proposed for the treatment of intractable cancer ...

Silent Adrenal Pheochromocytoma Coexistent with Corticomedullary Hyperplasia: A Case Incidentally Discovered

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2017
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
