Abstract:
Chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla have traditionally been considered as modified sympathetic neurons. However, the results of recent studies indicate the need to revise this concept. The article reviews recent findings in origin and ontogeny of adrenal chromaffin cells and transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of developmental processes. The article summarizes data on transcriptional control of chromaffin cells proliferation and maturation and participation of microRNA in regulation of chromaffin and sympathetic neuronal phenotype gene expression.

Anatomy of the Adrenal Glands
These glands possess a distinctive yellow tinge due to the stored cholesterol and fatty acids required for hormone synthesis. They are encased in a fibrous capsule and cushioned by fat.
The adrenal gland comprises two distinct...
Adrenal Gland Disorders
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss.
