Congenital pituitary hypoplasia model demonstrates hypothalamic OTX2 regulation of pituitary progenitor cells. Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2019; 130 (2): 641 DOI: 10.1172/JCI127378 ...

Now in a mouse-model study, researchers at KU Leuven have discovered that the pituitary gland in mice ages as the result of an age-related form of chronic inflammation.

Using this model, they have already demonstrated the antigen presentation of PIT-1 protein epitope on the anterior pituitary cells derived from patient iPS cells.

Aside from the pituitary gland, the endocrine system contains the following glands and organs: Adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are small, triangle-shaped glands that sit above your kidneys.

Last week marked the 25th anniversary of The Princess Bride (inconceivable, we know). One of its most memorable actors was Andre the Giant, who owed his 7’4” stature to the pituitary gland ...

The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, just below the hypothalamus, which regulates pituitary endocrine secretion. The gland consists of two main regions: the anterior pituitary ...

Not at all! If you’ve been diagnosed with a pituitary tumor, you’re not alone. Doctors diagnose about 10,000 pituitary tumors each year, and many people will have a pituitary tumor without knowing it.

Researchers at Kobe University's Graduate School of Medicine have developed the world's first congenital pituitary hypoplasia (CPH) model using patient-derived iPS cells. The research group consisting ...
