SR Bornstein , M Malyukov , C Heller , CG Ziegler , G Ruiz-Babot , A Schedl , B Ludwig , C Steenblock

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020; 105(9): 3103–3107.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32629476/In this narrative review, the authors discuss the potential role of novel regenerative therapies for the treatment of adrenal insufficiency, including gene therapy and cell replacement strategies. More specifically, the authors discuss the heterogeneity in adrenal function in patients with Addison...

To read the full abstract: Cell Rep. 2018; 22(5): 1236-1249Primary or secondary adrenal insufficiency (AI) results from adrenal failure or impairment of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, respectively. The most frequent cause of primary AI is autosomal recessive congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Patients with AI need life-long treatment with exogenous steroids, which can be challenging, ...

Brief Summary: This study explored the relationship between Somatostatin Receptor 2 (SSTR2) immunoreactivity and succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B (SDHB) immunoreactivity, mutational status, and clinical behavior of paragangliomas (PPGLs), and evaluated SSTR-based therapies in metastatic PPGLs. The findings highlight SSTR2 expression as a novel biomarker for metastatic behavior in PCC, PGL and SDHB/ SDHx mutations. They also suggest that SSTR-based therapie...
