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 /🧵

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...

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.
