During development, cells grow, expand, and migrate to generate tissues and organs in a highly controlled manner. Many intracellular pathways—series of signaling cascades within a cell ...

A hamartoma is a benign growth composed of an abnormal mixture of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. It is a part of any tissue that either grows faster or without the usual organization of its ...

Neurosurgeons at the University of Texas–Houston and Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital report on the success they achieved when they removed a hypothalamic hamartoma from a 10-year-old girl ...

A mesenteric lymphoid hamartoma was found in a 16-year-old boy associated with growth arrest, chronic hypochromic anemia and hypergammaglobulinemia. Radioisotope tracer scanning technics revealed t ...

Cleveland Clinic researchers have uncovered genomic characteristics of breast cancers associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) that differentiate them from sporadic breast cancers.

Neurosurgeons report on the success they achieved when they removed a hypothalamic hamartoma from a 10-year-old girl to combat hyperphagia (excessive appetite and compulsive overeating) and ...

Charis Eng, MD, PhD, received a two-year, nearly $680,000 grant from the PTEN Research Foundation to investigate how genomic alterations influence PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS). With this grant ...

PTEN Research Foundation, a charity which funds and facilitates research with the aim of developing new and better treatments for PTEN Hamartoma Tumou ...

A new study on the genetic causes of the PTEN Hamartoma Tumour Syndrome (PHTS) has found that inhibitors of the PI3ka pathway, commonly used as anticancer drugs, are also effective against this ...
