Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, we have developed a model of parathyroid tissue culture that allows the study of the response of the parathyroid glands to long-term effectors, such as calcitriol, and that is also useful to study the likely effect of the genetic polymorphisms in the functionality of the glands. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response to calcitriol of cultured parathyroid tissue from patients with...
