Biosynthesis and biological action of pineal allopregnanolone
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014 The pineal gland transduces photoperiodic changes to the neuroendocrine system by rhythmic secretion of melatonin. We recently provided new evidence that the pineal gland is a major neurosteroidogenic organ and actively produces a variety of ...

Glia-pinealocyte network: the paracrine modulation of melatonin synthesis by tumor necrosis factor (TNF). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The pineal gland, a circumventricular organ, plays an integrative role in defense responses. The injury-induced suppression of the pineal gland hormone, melatonin, which is triggered by darkness, allows the mounting of innate immune responses.

Human Pineal Gland Involutionary Process: New Findings
, 2023 In this work, we report preliminary results about the involution of the human pineal gland involution. The detailed analysis of pineal structure was done on autopsy material of 77 persons in age 27-96 using x-ray phase-contrast tomography, histology, and

Profiling Temporal Changes of the Pineal Transcriptomes at Single Cell Level Upon Neonatal HIBD
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) often results in various neurological deficits. Among them, a common, yet often neglected, symptom is circadian rhythm disorders. Previous studies revealed that the occurrence of cysts in the pineal gland, an

Macro-microscopical aspects of the buffalo (Bubalus bubalis Linnaeus, 1758) pineal gland [PDF]
Biotemas, 2009 Gross and microscopical aspects of the buffalo pineal gland were described in seasonal parturition animals, since this gland is responsible for melatonin secretion which acts upon the hypothalamus-hypophysis reproductive axis feedback system.

Exceptional preservation informs the paleobiology of tapinocephalid dinocephalians
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The tapinocephalid dinocephalian Moschops is one of the most iconic taxa of the middle Permian, yet its paleobiology remains one of the least well‐known. Here, we address some aspects of paleoneurology and paleobiology of Moschops using CT scanning of four well preserved skulls from the upper Abrahamskraal Formation of South Africa. Two of the

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 IntroductionPineal gland tumors are exceedingly rare and account for 0.4-1.0% of brain neoplasms. Their rarity has confounded a clear understanding of the prognostic factors and standards of care for these neoplasms.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Nineteenth century excavations of the Ciply‐Malogne Phosphatic Chalk Formation in Hainaut, Belgium, yielded over 50 partial mosasaur skeletons, the majority of which were referred to the species Mosasaurus lemonnieri Dollo, 1889. In the years since, this taxon has experienced a complicated taxonomic history, and its exceptional hypodigm has ...
