Asymptomatic Glomus Tumor of the Mediastinum [PDF]
Case Reports in Surgery, 2015 Glomus tumors are rare benign neoplasms that predominate in limbs. Infrequently, they can occur in a wide anatomic distribution, to include sites not known to contain glomus cells.

Rotenone selectively occludes sensitivity to hypoxia in rat carotid body glomus cells [PDF]
Journal of Physiology, 2003 Carotid body glomus cells release transmitters in response to hypoxia due to the increase of excitability resulting from inhibition of O2 ‐regulated K+ channels. However, the mechanisms involved in the detection of changes of O2 tension are unknown.

Hypoxia inducible factor-dependent upregulation of Agrp in glomus type I cells of the carotid body [PDF]
Molecular MetabolismAgouti-related peptide (AgRP) is a well-established potent orexigenic peptide primarily expressed in hypothalamic neurons. Nevertheless, the expression and functional significance of extrahypothalamic AgRP remain poorly understood.

A painless glomus tumor: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2018 Background Glomus tumor is a benign and vascular hamartoma that originates from the neuromyoarterial cells of the normal glomus apparatus in the reticular dermis. The etiology of glomus tumors is unknown.

The importance of sucrose synthase for AM symbiosis in maize, in pea and in Medicago [PDF]
, 2002 The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is probably the most widespread symbiotic associations on earth, occurring in the roots of about 90 % of the land plant species. The fungal partners are soil-borne fungi of the order Glomales in the phylum of Glomero.

Ammonium transporters in grasses : molecular and functional characterization with special reference to the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis [PDF]
, 2013 Most herbaceous plants live in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. AM fungi colonize the roots of their host plant symbionts and provide them with mineral nutrients, especially phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) and receive, in exchange ...

Molecular markers from the mitochondrial genome of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) : evolutionary dynamics and application [PDF]
, 2010 The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophic symbionts with a key role in ecosystem functioning by their main contribution to plant mineral nutrient uptake. A fragment of the mitochondrial large subunit gene of ribosomal RNA (mtLSU) has
