Malignant phaeochromocytomas
The great majority of phaeochromocytomas are benign, but some 10–15% are found to be malignant, the proportion being higher when they are extra-adrenal, paragangliomas. Malignant behaviour is hard to predict, and there are few histopathological features that are consistently of use. There are novel biochemical and molecular markers, but none has proven to be as yet especially reliable although elevated urinary methoxytyramine seems to be useful. At present, size is proba...

Hormone misuse in sport and leisure
When humans are placed in a competitive setting, particularly in the sporting arena, they will attempt to gain an advantage over their opponent in order to win.

Nanometre-resolution imaging of hormonal secretion in living cells in real time
Biochemists have defined a probably complete catalogue of proteins involved in insulin secretion. Similarly, over the last two decades, biochemists and physiologists have defined the physical characteristics of different types of ion channels that underlie normal pancreatic beta cell physiology. What is missing is information describing the wheres and whens: where are these proteins (i.e. not just for example on the surface of a cell, but how are the single protein...
