#ISP2025 started in #Montreal. Two days fully dedicated to #PHEO and #PARA and #Friendship.

Thanks to everyone who submitted their abstracts. The quality was outstanding and the selection process was anything but easy! We’re excited to share that the final program of the 2nd Conference on Experimental Endocrinology is now ready.
✅ Registration is still open – don’t miss out!

Patient-derived organoids reveal hypoxia-driven plasticity and therapeutic vulnerabilities in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare chromaffin cell-derived neuroendocrine tumors of sympathetic (catecholamine-producing) or parasympathetic (nonsecretory) origin, frequently driven...

Big day for our team: our pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) organoid paper is now up on bioRxiv!

This was a tour de force across 6 institutions, 37 authors, building patient-derived organoids from 35 PPGL patients /🧵

We will regret this pioneering endocrinologist who has made several great discoveries about steroids, in particular DHEA and the inventor of RU 486. A real model at the age of 15, he was fighting against the Nazis.

An opportunity to chat with other scientists in experimental endocrinology Freising September 29th/3oth in Freising. Want to know more? Meet us today in our DGE session 11:00 in Baden-Baden.

Only a few hours to go before the first symposium on #ExpEndo during the #DGE congress starts. Join us! @expendodge.bsky.social

My #mobile #office is open. On my way to #Baden-Baden #DGE #Endocrinology. I look forward to many intersting sessions related to @expendodge.bsky.social and @adrenal-research.bsky.social

Fantastic meeting with lots of colleagues/friends and one passion: the #adrenal #gland. Thanks to the team from Würzburg for the excellent organization. #PHEO #ACC #CONN #Cushing #AGS

Second day of the #adrenal #conference in Würzburg. Excellent #science focusing on #Pheo #ACC #Conn and #Cushing.

Very pleased to share our new manuscript rdcu.be/d9OBF. Many thanks to our collaborators for their excellent support @adrenal-research.bsky.social ! #hypoxia #steroidogenesis #HIF #miRNA

Meet the people behind the working group experimental endocrinology.

The first ExpEndo meeting 2025. We approved the charter, discussed some exciting plans on guidelines and started to plan this years ExpEndo meeting in Freising. Save the date for September 29th/30th.📅

Congratulations 🥳 @karna-b.bsky.social
