Here, we report the isolation and detailed characterization of progenitor mesenchymal cells (PMCs) from both growth hormone-secreting (GH+) and non-secreting (NS) pituitary adenomas, determining ...

Scientists have for the first time identified stem cells that allow the pituitary glands of mice to grow even after birth. They found that, in contrast to most adult stem cells, these cells are ...

Pituitary tissue grown from human stem cells releases diverse hormones, partly rescues rat model of hypopituitarism.

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 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 ...

Self-organized pituitary-like tissue from mouse ES cells Date: November 15, 2011 Source: RIKEN Summary: The possibility that functional, three-dimensional tissues and organs may be derived from ...

Researchers have successfully used human stem cells to generate functional pituitary tissue that secretes hormones important for the body's stress response as well as for its growth and ...

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 ...

Most pituitary tumors are adenomas that develop in the adenohypophysis (the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland), which is composed of six epithelial cell types that secrete peptide hormones.

This pituitary cell line is easy to culture and has robust gene and protein expression. As such, this adult-derived pituitary cell line enables accurate assays for use in studies of progenitor cell ...
