Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma Formation in the Adrenal Cortex Involves Expression of Stem/Progenitor Cell Markers
4 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Aldosterone producing adenoma (APA) is the most common form of surgically curable hypertension. To further understand mechanisms involved in APA formation, we investigated the expression of molecules linked to adrenal stem/precursor cells [β-catenin, Sonic hedgehog (Shh), CD56], and nuclear receptors that play key roles in adrenocortical development and function steroidogenic factor 1, dosage-sensitive sex...
