Crohn's disease manifests during childhood or adolescence in up to 25% of patients. The potential for linear growth impairment as a complication of chronic intestinal inflammation is unique to ...

The importance of the thyroid hormone axis in the regulation of skeletal growth and maintenance has been well established from clinical studies involving patients with mutations in proteins that ...

Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have identified growth hormone in the colon that increases as the colon ages—a discovery that can help guide the development of a new anti-aging therapy. The findings, ...

Growth hormone receptor (GHR) signaling in bladder cancer is associated with advanced tumor stages and poor survival outcomes. High GHR expression in tumors up-regulates genes involved in drug ...

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have discovered that growth hormone (GH), which stimulates skeletal maturation and linear bone growth, as well as helping maintain tissue and ...

Pituitary tumors exhibit a spectrum of biology, with variable growth and hormonal behaviors. They therefore provide an opportunity to examine pathogenetic mechanisms that underlie the neoplastic ...

Growth hormone, produced by the pituitary gland, plays a critical role in cell regeneration, growth, and maintaining healthy body tissue, including the brain and vital organs. While synthetic human ...

Increased levels of the hormone auxin usually promote cell growth in various plant tissues. Researchers have now shown that in special areas of the seedling, increased auxin levels trigger a different ...
