Journal ArticleDOI
Cofilin is a mediator of RET-promoted medullary thyroid carcinoma cell migration, invasion and proliferation
Elena Giardino,Rosa Catalano,Anna Maria Barbieri,Donatella Treppiedi,Federica Mangili,Anna Spada,Maura Arosio,Giovanna Mantovani,Giovanna Mantovani,Erika Peverelli +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that an unbalanced cofilin expression, induced by oncogenic RET, contributes to promote MTC invasiveness and growth, suggesting the possibility of targeting coFilin pathway for more effective treatment of MTC.
High Incidence of AIP mutations in sporadic pituitary adenomas in young patients with macroadenomas

Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of Parathyroid-Specific Genes in Vascular Endothelial Progenitors of Normal and Tumoral Parathyroid Glands
Sabrina Corbetta,Marzia Belicchi,Federica Pisati,Mirella Meregalli,Cristina Eller-Vainicher,Leonardo Vicentini,Paolo Beck-Peccoz,Anna Spada,Yvan Torrente +8 more
TL;DR: These parathyroid/endothelial cells were more abundant and less committed inParathyroid tumors compared with normal glands, showing features of endothelial progenitors, which suggests that they might be involved in parathyro tumorigenesis.
Book ChapterDOI
The hypersecreting somatotroph: functional and morphological aspects
TL;DR: Patients with acromegaly often show peculiar alterations of the GH secretory pattern, and the underlying biochemical events and morphological correlates have not so far been extensively investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of L-prolyl-L-leucyl-glycine amide on growth hormone secretion in normal and acromegalic subjects.
Giovanni Faglia,A. Paracchi,Carlo Ferrari,Paolo Beck-Peccoz,Bruno Ambrosi,P. Travaglini,Anna Spada,C. Oliver +7 more
TL;DR: Melanocyte Release-Inhibiting Peptide (MRIP-I) did not affect circulating levels of ACTH, LH, FSH, TSH,ORL, betaMSH and insulin when iv infused, while it significantly reduced serum GH response to hypoglycemia in normal subjects and lowered serum GH levels in acromegalics.
