Deletion of the ‘glial cells missing-2’ gene in mice disrupts development of the parathyroid glands but does not eliminate production of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is required for calcium ...

The human parathyroid gland, which regulates the level of calcium in the blood, probably evolved from the gills of fish, according to researchers from King's College London. The human parathyroid ...

An early laboratory success is taking researchers a step closer to parathyroid gland transplants that could one day prevent a currently untreatable form of bone loss associated with thyroid surgery.

Patient-derived parathyroid organoids (PTOs) could pave the way for future physiology studies and drug-screening applications, as shown in a study published on October 27 in the journal Stem Cell ...

Considerable advances have been made in the understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). These include the discovery that ...

Overactive parathyroid glands,which control the body's blood calcium levels, can lead to kidney stones, neuropsychiatric disorders and bone abnormalities, particularly among elderly women. Researchers ...

SINGAPORE, 28 May 2019 - Overactive parathyroid glands,which control the body's blood calcium levels, can lead to kidney stones, neuropsychiatric disorders and bone abnormalities, particularly among ...

Calcium plays a key role in many physiological processes, such as muscle contraction, blood coagulation and signalling by nerve cells. In humans, calcium levels are regulated by the parathyroid glands ...

Abstract The endocrine system comprises glands and tissues that produce hormones to regulate and coordinate vital bodily functions. This article, the third in an eight-part series on the endocrine ...

Recently two Mater Private Cork consultants collaborated on an interesting and relatively common condition — a case of primary hyperparathyroidism. The consultants involved were James Ryan and Tahir ...

Exposure to radiation may result in late adverse effects. Here we describe the consequences of irradiation for the endocrine system, particularly the parathyroid glands, in a cohort of 61 “liquidators ...
