Development of the neurohypophysis: A major neuroendocrine interface
Abstract The neurohypophysis is a major central neuroendocrine interface regulating reproductive functions and water homeostasis. Distinct neurovascular cell types interact via evolutionarily conserved signaling molecules in the developing neurohypophysis, providing a model system for studying principles in neuroendocrine interface morphogenesis.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) accelerates ovarian follicular depletion through atresia. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of aqueous (AE) and hydroethanolic (HEE) extracts of Cymbopogon citratus in mitigating PCOS‐induced ovarian damage (specifically ferroptosis, apoptosis, and oxidative stress) in a rat model of PCOS.

Expression of three GnRH receptors in specific tissues in male and female sea lampreys Petromyzon marinus at three distinct life stages [PDF]
Two recently cloned gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors (lamprey GnRH-R-2 and lamprey GnRH-R-3) along with lamprey (l) GnRH-R-1 were shown to share similar structural features and amino acid motifs common to other vertebrate receptors.

Introduction The aim of this paper is to report a case of a patient coming to the attention of the general dentist for TMD pain, limited mouth opening, and headache, for which the prescription of a blood test and an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to the incidental diagnosis of a microadenoma of the pituitary gland. Case Presentation A 15‐year‐old
