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 ...

The parathyroid glands are four small glands located in the neck. They regulate the amount of calcium in the blood. If the glands are over-functioning, an individual may need surgery to remove one or ...

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 ...

However, despite suggestions that such secondarily stimulated hyperparathyroidism may become autonomous 12–14 convincing data regarding such a possibility are not available, owing to the great excess ...

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 ...

Almost all of us have four parathyroid glands, located next to the thyroid gland in the neck. They are an organ only the size of a grain of rice, but critical for controlling our body's calcium levels ...

A team led by Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center biomedical engineers and surgeons has published results of a large clinical trial showing that use of a near-infrared ...

An investigational drug, encaleret, restored calcium levels in people with autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1), a rare genetic disorder marked by an imbalance of calcium in the blood and ...

Researchers have developed the first patient-derived parathyroid organoid (PTO), which accurately mimics parathyroid structure and function and could improve in vitro research and drug development.

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 ...
