Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Kinases in the Hypothalamus, Pituitary, and Pineal Gland: An Overview
We review the literature on the little-known roles of specific CaMKs in regulating endocrine functions of the pineal gland, the pituitary gland, and the hypothalamus. Melatonin activates hippocampal CaMKII, which then influences dendritogenesis.

Endocrine gland vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF) is a novel angiogenic mitogen selective for endothelial cells (EC) in endocrine glands. EG-VEGF is identical to a protein previously cloned and termed prokineticin (PK)-1.

Online Easy Example Mining for Weakly-supervised Gland Segmentation from Histology Images [PDF]
Developing an AI-assisted gland segmentation method from histology images is critical for automatic cancer diagnosis and prognosis; however, the high cost of pixel-level annotations hinders its applications to broader diseases. Existing weakly-supervised semantic segmentation methods in computer vision achieve degenerative results for gland ...

Concurrent Adrenal and Pituitary Adenomas in a Dog: A Case Report of Cushing's Disease
Neoplasms of endocrine organs occur in all animal species and are more commonly observed in dogs, cats, and horses. The simultaneous occurrence of pituitary and adrenal gland neoplasia can appear isolated or as a part of multiple endocrine neoplasias ...

TET2 directs mammary luminal cell differentiation and endocrine response
TET2 loss is associated with human cancers but its role in the mammary gland development and tumorigenesis is unclear. Here, the authors show that TET2–FOXP1 complex mediates demethylation of genes involved in luminal lineage commitment and endocrine ...

Angiogenesis of endocrine gland tumours--new molecular targets in diagnostics and therapy.
Angiogenesis is one of the key stages in the development of neoplastic tumours, in which a small group of mutated cells transforms into a large malignant tumour metastasising to the neighbouring tissues and organs.

Local and global analysis of endocrine regulation as a non-cyclic feedback system [PDF]
To understand the sophisticated control mechanisms of the human's endocrine system is a challenging task that is a crucial step towards precise medical treatment of many disfunctions and diseases. Although mathematical models describing the endocrine system as a whole are still elusive, recently some substantial progress has been made in analyzing ...

Transient hypercortisolism and symptomatic hyperthyroidism associated to primary hyperparathyroidism in an elderly patient: case report and literature review. [PDF]
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is often found on routine blood tests, at a relatively asymptomatic stage. However many studies suggest different systemic effects related to PHPT, which could be enhanced by an abnormal cortisol release due

Divergent Evolution of Progesterone and Mineralocorticoid Receptors in Terrestrial Vertebrates and Fish Influences Endocrine Disruption [PDF]
There is much concern about disruption of endocrine physiology regulated by steroid hormones in humans, other terrestrial vertebrates and fish by industrial chemicals, such as bisphenol A, and pesticides, such as DDT. These endocrine-disrupting chemicals influence steroid-mediated physiology in humans and other vertebrates by competing with steroids ...
