Catecholamine Research in the 21ST Century (original) (raw)

The paper provides a comprehensive overview of catecholamine research, emphasizing progress in understanding the synthesis, storage, and clinical implications of catecholamines. It discusses various themes from a recent symposium, highlighting advancements in molecular biology and clinical applications, including gene therapy for catecholamine deficiencies and the pathophysiology of conditions like Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Key insights into metabolic pathways and the role of enzymes in catecholamine production are also presented, indicating both scientific and therapeutic opportunities in the field.
