Human cytomegalovirus productively infects adrenocortical cells and induces an early cortisol response.

29 Nov 2009 Following our recent findings on the presence of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in the normal human adrenal cortex and in adrenocortical tumors, especially in cortisol-secreting tumors, aim of the present study was to investigate the direct effects of ... Read more...

Matrix association of latent TGF-beta binding protein-2 (LTBP-2) is dependent on fibrillin-1.

29 Nov 2009 The components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and their differential expression patterns play important roles in tissue formation. The deposition of latent TGF-beta binding proteins (LTBPs) to the ECM exhibit distinct distribution profiles. We ... Read more...

Benign fibroblastic polyps of the colon.

30 Oct 2009 Benign fibroblastic polyps of the colon are a recently described entity among mucosal polyps found in the colorectum. These polyps are typically discovered on routine screening colonoscopy within the distal colon. Benign fibroblastic polyps occur ... Read more...
