Chromaffin cells from adrenal medulla are the main source of epinephrine and norepinephrine hormones which are known to mediate so called fight-or-flight response to multiple environmental stress conditions.

However, little is known about chromaffin cells regeneration in an adult adrenal medulla.</p...
