All endocrine glands are susceptible to neoplastic growth, yet the health consequences of
these neoplasms differ between endocrine tissues. Pituitary neoplasms are highly prevalent …

The hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis is a complex system of neuroendocrine pathways
and feedback loops that function to maintain physiological homeostasis. Abnormal …

The anterior pituitary gland plays a central role in regulating various physiological
processes, including body growth, reproduction, metabolism and stress response. Here, we …

The adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary) is a major centre for systemic hormones. At
present, no efficient stem-cell culture for its generation is available, partly because of …

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH), located in the ventral diencephalon
adjacent to the third ventricle, is a highly conserved brain region present in species from …

Anterior pituitary is critical for endocrine systems. Its hormonal responses to positive and
negative regulators are indispensable for homeostasis. For this reason, generating human …

The pituitary gland adapts the proportion of each of its endocrine cell types to meet differing
hormonal demands throughout life. There is circumstantial evidence that multipotent adult …

Oxytocin (OT) is critical for the expression of social behavior across a wide array of species;
however, the role of this system in the encoding of socially relevant information is not well …

Mammalian reproductive cycles are controlled by an intricate interplay between the
hypothalamus, pituitary and gonads. Central to the function of this axis is the ability of the …

Organ formation during embryogenesis is a complex process that involves various local cell-
cell interactions at the molecular and mechanical levels. Despite this complexity …
