The pituitary gland is a central endocrine organ regulating basic physiological functions,
including growth, the stress response, reproduction, metabolic homeostasis, and lactation …

The mammalian anterior pituitary gland is a compound endocrine organ that regulates
reproductive development and fitness, growth, metabolic homeostasis, the response to …

▪ Abstract During the development of the pituitary gland, distinct hormone-producing cell
types arise from a common population of ectodermal progenitors, providing an instructive …

Mammalian organogenesis involves a sequential program to generate cells with specific
fates and phenotypes from a common primordium, which is hypothesized to be the …

The development of the anterior pituitary gland occurs in distinct sequential developmental
steps, leading to the formation of a complex organ containing five different cell types …

During mammalian pituitary gland development, distinct cell types emerge from a common
primordium. Appearance of specific cell types occurs in response to opposing signaling …

Emergence of distinct cell types from a common primordium during pituitary development
occurs in response to opposing signaling gradients that induce an overlapping temporal and …

The pituitary gland functions as a relay between the hypothalamus and peripheral target
organs that regulate basic physiological functions, including growth, the stress response …

Defects in pituitary gland organogenesis are sometimes associated with congenital
anomalies that affect head development. Lesions in transcription factors and signaling …

During development of the mammalian pituitary gland specific hormone-producing cell
types, critical in maintaining homeostasis, emerge in a spatially and temporally specific …
