It is stated as possible to cultivate and accumulate endocrine cells by regular passages in vitro over a long period of time. In this case endocrine cells of human fetus don't loose the ability to synthesize hormone. Such cultures can be used to study some general-biological problems out of influence of the neurohumoral organism factors.

Objectives: Hyperandrogenism is a frequently recognized endocrine imbalance in which there is excessive production of androgens. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms on chosen bone metabolism and biochemical parameters in women with hyperandrogenism.
Material And Methods: Eighty young females with hyperandrogenism were enrolled in the study, in whom selected parameters of bone turnover, endocrine and metabolic parameters were determined.

Pancreatic β-cells are specialized in secreting insulin in response to circulating nutrients, mainly glucose. Diabetes is one of the most prevalent endocrine-metabolic diseases characterized by an imbalance in glucose homeostasis, which result mainly from lack of insulin production (type 1 diabetes) or insufficient insulin and peripheral insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes), both influenced by genetic and environmental components. Pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and islet inflammation are common characteristics of both types of the disease.

Cobalt is a crucial trace element that widely exists in natural environments and is necessary for normal physiological function. However, excessive cobalt exposure leads to various adverse health effects, especially hematological and endocrine dysfunctions. Here, we investigated the toxicity of cobalt on early erythropoiesis by using ex vivo cultured erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs).

Background: Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine tumors worldwide, especially among women and the metastatic mechanism of papillary thyroid carcinoma remains poorly understood.
Methods: Thyroid cancer tissue samples were obtained for single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, aiming to intratumoral and antimetastatic heterogeneity of advanced PTC. The functions of APOE in PTC cell proliferation and invasion were confirmed through in vivo and in vitro assays.

Zearalenone (ZEA), produced by Fusarium, is a fungal toxin commonly found in maize, wheat, and other cereals. ZEA has the ability to bind to estrogen receptors of humans and animals and is an environmental endocrine disruptor that may interfere with glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism. In this study, we first investigated the effects of chronic exposure to low doses of ZEA with a high-fat-diet (HFD) in obese C57BL/6 J mice.
