Tumor-induced osteomalacia in association with PTEN-negative Cowden syndrome

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic condition in which phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMTs) secrete high levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) into the circulation. This results...

Activation of soluble guanylate cyclase causes relaxation of corpus cavernosum tissue: synergism of nitric oxide and YC-1

Nitric oxide (NO) activates corpus cavernosum smooth muscle soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) and increases the synthesis of cGMP that results in smooth muscle relaxation and ultimately, penile erection. To char...
