The mammalian adrenal gland is composed of two distinct tissue types in a bidirectional
connection, the catecholamine-producing medulla derived from the neural crest and the …

The adrenal gland is a key component of the stress system in the human body. Multiple
direct and paracrine interactions between different cell types and their progenitors take …

The neural crest (NC) is a transient multipotent cell population present during embryonic
development. The NC can give rise to multiple cell types and is involved in a number of …

Cartilage tissue is a nanostructured tissue which is notoriously hard to regenerate due to its
extremely poor inherent regenerative capacity and complex stratified architecture. Current …

In general terms we all use the word “stress” to describe our discomfort in coping with
challenges of daily life. This is mostly related to our subjective perceptions of workload …

Pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors
associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and variable risk of malignancy. The current …

The neural crest‐derived adrenal medulla is closely related to the sympathetic nervous
system; however, unlike neural tissue, it is characterized by high plasticity which suggests …

The endocrine system coordinates a wide array of body functions mainly through secretion
of hormones and their actions on target tissues. Over the last decades, a collective effort …

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system includes a variety of cells
including neurons, endocrine cells and glial cells. A recent study (Furlan et al. 2017) has …

The adrenal gland is a highly plastic organ with the capacity to adapt the body homeostasis
to different physiological needs. The existence of stem-like cells in the adrenal cortex has …
