Matrix metalloproteinase activity is very high in all types of human pituitary adenomas. Matrix metalloproteinase secreted by pituitary cells can release growth factors from the extracellular matrix ...

A recent study [1] by Finnish researchers has uncovered a previously unknown function of pituitary macrophages, immune cells within the pituitary gland that play a significant role in regulating ...

In a new study published in Cell Reports, Finnish researchers show that pituitary macrophages, the immune cells located in the pituitary gland, help regulate hormonal balance. It is possible that ...

Researchers from The University of Tokyo have unveiled how environmental factors like varying day lengths influence gene expression and chromatin organization in pituitary cells of sticklebacks, ...

Find out what you need to know about the anterior pituitary, including what it does and how it works.

The pituitary gland is divided into three major regions: the anterior lobe (pars distalis), or the adenohypophysis; the median pituitary (pars intermedia); and the posterior lobe (pars nervosa), or ...

The paper shows the results of experiments performed at cultures of the anterior pituitary gland cells of domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica) in vitro. The cells were subjected to the influence of ...

Pituitary tumours (pituitary adenomas) Pituitary gland tumours are brain tumours that start to grow in the the pituitary gland. Most pituitary tumours are non cancerous (benign). Benign pituitary ...

Thyrotropin Thyrotropin is a glycoprotein secreted by specific basophils of the anterior pituitary gland.128 Although it is found in all vertebrates studied, there is evidence of some species diffe ...

THE following is a preliminary report upon an investigation which is being carried out upon the reaction of the glandular cells of human anterior pituitary to Gram's stain.

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 ...
