Decoding the activated stem cell phenotype of the neonatally maturing pituitary
eLife, 2022 The pituitary represents the endocrine master regulator. In mouse, the gland undergoes active maturation immediately after birth. Here, we in detail portrayed the stem cell compartment of neonatal pituitary.

High-resolution DCE-MRI of the pituitary gland using radial k-space acquisition with compressed sensing reconstruction [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The pituitary gland is located outside of the blood-brain barrier. Dynamic T1 weighted contrast enhanced sequence is considered to be the gold standard to evaluate this region.

Come together over me: Cells that form the dermatocranium and chondrocranium in mice
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Most bone develops either by intramembranous ossification where bone forms within a soft connective tissue, or by endochondral ossification by way of a cartilage anlagen or model. Bones of the skull can form endochondrally or intramembranously or represent a combination of the two types of ossification.

Trophic and neurotrophic factors in human pituitary adenomas (Review) [PDF]
, 2017 The pituitary gland is an organ that functionally connects the hypothalamus with the peripheral organs. The pituitary gland is an important regulator of body homeostasis during development, stress, and other processes.

Epithelial cell integrin beta1 is required for developmental angiogenesis in the pituitary gland [PDF]
, 2016 As a key component of the vertebrate neuroendocrine system, the pituitary gland relies on the progressive and coordinated development of distinct hormone-producing cell types and an invading vascular network. The molecular mechanisms that drive formation

Stability analysis of a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis model with inclusion of glucocorticoid receptor and memory [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings 1798, 020111, 2017, 2016 This paper analyzes a four-dimensional model of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis that includes the influence of the glucocorticoid receptor in the pituitary. Due to the spatial separation between the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands, distributed time delays are introduced in the mathematical model.

PSMA PET/CT as a predictive tool for sub-regional importance estimates in the parotid gland [PDF]
, 2023 Xerostomia and radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction remain a common side effect for head-and-neck radiotherapy patients, and attempts have been made to quantify the heterogeneous dose response within parotid glands. Here several models of parotid gland subregional importance are compared with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron ...
