β-catenin is required in the neural crest and mesencephalon for pituitary gland organogenesis
BMC Developmental Biology, 2016 BackgroundThe pituitary gland is a highly vascularized tissue that requires coordinated interactions between the neural ectoderm, oral ectoderm, and head mesenchyme during development for proper physiological function. The interactions between the neural
