Stephan Petersenn, Hans-Jürgen Quabbe, Christof Schöfl, Günter K Stalla, Klaus von Werder, and Michael Buchfelder

Dtsch Arztebl Int 107(25):437-43 (2010) PMID 20644702

Diseases of the pituitary gland can lead to the dysfunction of individual hormonal axes and to the corresponding clinical manifestations. The diagnostic assessment of pituitary function has not yet been standardized.

    We report structures of P3 in a catalytically inactive conformation, structures of P3 and P7 bound to covalent peptide inhibitors that reveal the active conformation of the zymogens, and the structure of a partially matured C7:P7 heterodimer. Along with a biochemical analysis, we show that P3 is cat...

    We mapped skin voltages resulting from low-intensity transcranial electrical stimulation. These voltage recordings were used to compare the predictions obtained from the high-resolution model based on the subject undergoing transcranial stimulation. Main results. Each of the four stimulation electro...

    We previously identified the tumor suppressor MEN1 as a gene required for oncogene-induced senescence in melanocytes, raising the possibility that MEN1 is a melanoma tumor suppressor. Here we show that MEN1 expression is lost in a high percentage of human melanomas and melanoma cell lines. We find t...
