Microglia in Circumventricular Organs: The Pineal Gland Example. [PDF]
ASN Neuro, 2022 The circumventricular organs (CVOs) are unique areas within the central nervous system. They serve as a portal for the rest of the body and, as such, lack a blood-brain barrier.

Molecular Basis for Defining the Pineal Gland and Pinealocytes as Targets for Tumor Necrosis Factor [PDF]
, 2010 The pineal gland, the gland that translates darkness into an endocrine signal by releasing melatonin at night, is now considered a key player in the mounting of an innate immune response.

Active zone proteins are dynamically associated with synaptic ribbons in rat pinealocytes [PDF]
, 2008 Synaptic ribbons (SRs) are prominent organelles that are abundant in the ribbon synapses of sensory neurons where they represent a specialization of the cytomatrix at the active zone (CAZ).

Sex-Specific Methylomic and Transcriptomic Responses of the Avian Pineal Gland to Unpredictable Illumination Patterns. [PDF]
J Pineal ResABSTRACT In the production environment of chickens, exposure to unpredictable light patterns is a common painless stressor, widely used to influence growth rate and egg production efficiency. The pineal gland, a key regulator of circadian rhythms through melatonin secretion, responds to environmental light cues, and its function is modulated by ...

Adrenergic control of pinealocyte chondriome – an in vitro study [PDF]
Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2016 Abstract Norepinephrine released from sympathetic innervation plays the main role in the regulation of melatonin secretion in mammalian pinealocytes. The present study was conducted for the following reasons: 1) to establish whether the pinealocyte chondriome is controlled by norepinephrine, 2) to determine the effect of adrenergic stimulation on ...

The Pinealocyte-A Paraneuron ? A Review
Archivum histologicum japonicum, 1977 The pineal complex develops from a tubular evagination of the diencephalic roof. In amphibians a proliferation zone is the source of the pinealocytes and of the cells of the subcommissural organ. The pinealocytes are not real nerve cells, but derived likewise from the embryonic neural epithelium.

A PECULIAR CONFIGURATION OF AGRANULAR RETICULUM (CANALICULATE LAMELLAR BODY) IN THE RAT PINEALOCYTE [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1967 A cytoplasmic structure exhibiting a peculiar configuration of agranular reticulum has been found in the rat pinealocyte, and has been designated a canaliculate lamellar body.
