A detailed mapping study in adult male mice shows that huntingtin-associated protein 1 is distributed in a highly ...

In a new study published in Cell Reports, Finnish researchers show that pituitary macrophages, the immune cells located in the pituitary gland, help regulate hormonal balance. It is possible that in ...

When the pituitary gland fails, people take hormone pills for the rest of their lives. Those pills can’t rise and fall with stress or the time of day the way the body’s own hormones do.

Two adult mouse pituitary glands. On the left, gonadotrophs derived after birth from stem cells appear in yellow. On the right, gonadotrophs in the embryo appear in green/yellow in the centre of the ...

Researchers in Japan have transplanted pituitary tissue grown from human stem cells into a primate whose pituitary gland had been surgically removed, successfully restoring critical hormone signals.

The pituitary gland is a small organ at the base of the brain responsible for hormone production. Specifically, it regulates chemical messages throughout the body to dictate how other organs should ...

A new review argues that chronic kidney disease may dysregulate pituitary hormones through uremic toxins, inflammation, disrupted FGF23-Klotho signaling, microRNAs, and gut-brain pathways.
