Couldwell, William T. | Diagnosis and management of Cushing disease | The management of a case involving Cushing disease, defined as excess secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from a pituitary adenoma, remains one of the most vexing problems facing the pituitary surgeon. The systemic consequences of this endocrinopathy are profound morbidity and premature... | | 2007-01-01 |

Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Baranov, Pavel V. | Diverse bacterial genomes encode an operon of two genes, one of which is an unusual class-I release factor that potentially recognizes atypical mRNA signals other than normal stop codons | ABSTRACT: Background: While all codons that specify amino acids are universally recognized by tRNA molecules, codons signaling termination of translation are recognized by proteins known as class-I release factors (RF). In most eukaryotes and archaea a single RF accomplishes termination at all three... | Class-I release factors; RF1; RF2; Bacterial genomes | 2006 |
