There is evidence to suggest that the plasticity of
chromaffin cells declines during development, which may overlap or be the same as early stages of ageing |17, 18~.
Such measurements not only avoid the quality assurance problems associated with measurements of deconjugated metanephrines, but also offer theoretical advantages related to measurements of free metabolites formed within
chromaffin cells and their tumor derivatives (18, 23).

Although curvature contributions have also been ascribed to phosphatidic acid (PA) in
chromaffin cells (Zeniou-Meyer et al..
Bovine
chromaffin cells were isolated following published methods (Mao et al.
Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine secreting tumour which is of
chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla (90%) or extra-adrenal sympathetic para-ganglia.
Pheochromocytomas are neoplasms arising from the catecholamine-producing, neural crest-derived
chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, similar neoplasms can also arise from extramedullarychromaffin cells and are referred to as paragangliomas [2].
Malignancy is typically proven with demonstration of
chromaffin cells in non-chromaffin tissues.

Pheochromocytoma, the "great masquerader," is a neoplasm of neuroectodermal
chromaffin cells which produces excess catecholamines.
In vivo and in vitro observations have shown that neuroblastic tumours appear to recapitulate the development of differentiating, predominantly noradrenergic, sympathetic neurons, and
chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, suggesting that neuroblastoma arises from aberrant or blocked differentiation in normal SNS development (reviewed in [7]).
