Researchers have successfully converted human pluripotent stem cells into purified pituitary cells that aggregated into hormone-secreting organoids. As reported June 8 in the journal Stem Cell Reports ...

Pituitary stem cell biology has emerged as a pivotal field in understanding the maintenance and regeneration of the neuroendocrine system. Research in this domain has illuminated the role of ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that gonadotrophs, cells in the pituitary gland with a key role in puberty and reproduction, come from two different populations, with the ...

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 ...

Your pituitary is a small gland at the base of your brain. Pituitary disorders develop because of problems with your pituitary gland. A growth (tumor) in or near the pituitary often causes these ...

A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth in your pituitary, which is a small, bean-shaped gland in your head. The majority of these tumors are benign (not cancer) and often called adenomas. Because the ...

Some people claim that home remedies can shrink a pituitary tumor naturally. There’s no evidence that this is true, but good lifestyle habits may help support your overall health. Pituitary tumors are ...

Conditions that affect the pituitary gland include acromegaly and gigantism, Cushing and empty sella syndromes, prolactinoma, and more. Noncancerous tumors most often cause conditions that affect your ...

The main treatment option for pituitary tumors involves surgical removal of the tumor. The two types of pituitary tumor surgery are transsphenoidal surgery and craniotomy. Transsphenoidal surgery is ...
