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 ...

Regenerative medicine has opened up exciting possibilities in the world of medicine. Now, researchers in Japan are searching for ways to recreate and rebuild body tissues and organs, which may be an ...

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 new study. Patient-derived parathyroid organoids (PTOs) ...

A pivotal role for the renal calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in the control of divalent cation excretion in a parathyroid hormone-independent manner has been identified through tissue-specific CaSR ...

An early laboratory success is taking researchers a step closer to parathyroid gland transplants that could one day prevent a currently untreatable form of bone loss associated with thyroid surgery.

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 ...

Hyperparathyroidism happens when the parathyroid glands make too much parathyroid hormone. This can affect your calcium levels and cause other health problems. You may have hyperparathyroidism if your ...

Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs when one or more of the parathyroid glands overproduce the parathyroid hormone (PTH), which causes calcium to be pulled from the bones and intestinal track and ...
