Pituitary stem cell biology has emerged as a pivotal field in understanding the maintenance and regeneration of the neuroendocrine system. Research in this domain has illuminated the role of ...

Researchers have successfully converted human pluripotent stem cells into purified pituitary cells that aggregated into hormone-secreting organoids. As reported June 8 in the journal Stem Cell Reports ...

Stem cells in the adult pituitary are quiescent yet show acute activation upon tissue injury. The molecular mechanisms underlying this reaction are completely unknown. We applied single-cell ...

The pituitary gland is the size of a pea, but it plays a major role in the endocrine system. It is often called the master gland because it controls several other hormone glands in the body. Almost ...

A team of researchers at the IRCM, supervised by Dr. Jacques Drouin, reprogrammed the identity of cells in the pituitary gland and identified critical mechanisms of epigenetic cell programming. This ...

A newly discovered line of communication between body muscle and the pituitary gland may play an unexpected role in female fertility, according to a new study. McGill University researchers found that ...

Among patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), the likelihood of developing pituitary adenomas was higher at younger ages and declined with time. Other key risk factors identified ...

One of the enduring ichthyological mysteries is how migratory fish know when it is time to move from their winter to summer habitats. The ability to tell when the seasons are changing is crucial for a ...
