Although the pineal gland (epiphysis cerebri) has been noted in medical writings for at least 2,000 years its possible physiological role remains unresolved. Early Greek anatomists, including Herophilus and his disciples, believed that the cerebral ventricles were the seat of the mind and that the pineal body or conarium had a sphincteric function to ...

From implantation to birth: insight into molecular melatonin functions [PDF]
Melatonin is a lipophilic hormone synthesized and secreted mainly in the pineal gland, acting as a neuroendocrine transducer of photoperiodic information during the night.

Parotid Gland MRI Segmentation Based on Swin-Unet and Multimodal Images [PDF]
Background and objective: Parotid gland tumors account for approximately 2% to 10% of head and neck tumors. Preoperative tumor localization, differential diagnosis, and subsequent selection of appropriate treatment for parotid gland tumors are critical.

Hypotheses in light detection by vertebrate ancient opsin in the bird brain
Abstract Extra‐retinal photoreception is common across fish and avian species. In birds, the hypothalamus contains non‐visual photoreceptors that detect light and regulate multiple endocrine systems. To date, light‐dependent control of seasonal reproduction is one of the most well‐studied systems that require deep brain photoreception.

DFGET: Displacement-Field Assisted Graph Energy Transmitter for Gland Instance Segmentation [PDF]
Gland instance segmentation is an essential but challenging task in the diagnosis and treatment of adenocarcinoma. The existing models usually achieve gland instance segmentation through multi-task learning and boundary loss constraint. However, how to deal with the problems of gland adhesion and inaccurate boundary in segmenting the complex samples ...

DAPK3 is Essential for DBP‐Induced Autophagy of Mouse Leydig Cells
This study has confirmed that death‐associated protein kinase 3 (DAPK3) is essential for dibutyl phthalate (DBP)‐induced autophagy of mouse Leydig cells, and is regulated by both transcription factor specific protein 2 (Sp2) and parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin‐protein ligase (PRKN), and melatonin can alleviate DBP‐induced autophagy of the cells.

The Concept of Neuroglia ‐ the State of the Art Circa 1900
Main Points Retzius, Lenhossek, Weigert, Held illuminate glial research circa 1900. English translations provided. They analyze glia during vertebrate evolution, including human, and relate it to development. They compare grey and white matter, glial relationships to vessels, brain surface.
