An unexpected observation has led researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science to challenge a 200-year-old doctrine regarding the embryonic origins of the pituitary gland. Situated at the base of ...

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 in ...

Researchers have shown that gonadotrophs, cells in the pituitary gland with a key role in puberty and reproduction, come from two different populations, with the majority produced after birth rather ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that gonadotrophs, cells in the pituitary gland with a key role in puberty and reproduction, come from two different populations, with the ...

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 Reports ...

Two adult mouse pituitary glands. On the left, gonadotrophs derived after birth from stem cells appear in yellow. On the right, gonadotrophs in the embryo appear in green/yellow in the centre of the ...
