The anterior and intermediate lobes of the pituitary gland derive from the surface ectoderm.
They provide a simple system to assess mechanisms of developmental identity established …

The pituitary gland has long been considered to be a random patchwork of hormone-
producing cells. By using pituitary-scale tridimensional imaging for two of the least abundant …

There is growing concern over confounding artifacts associated with β-cell–specific Cre-
recombinase transgenic models, raising questions about their general usefulness in …

Acyl‐CoA‐binding protein (ACBP) is a ubiquitously expressed protein that binds intracellular
acyl‐CoA esters. Several studies have suggested that ACBP acts as an acyl‐CoA pool …

Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is expressed in two lineages of the pituitary, the anterior lobe
corticotrophs and the intermediate lobe melanotrophs. POMC expression in these two …

This article presents a techno-economic evaluation of 3G rollout scenarios in two" typical"
European countries with contrasting profiles, analyzing both the incumbent and newcomer …

Diazepam is well known for its anxiolytic properties, which are mediated via activation of the
GABA A receptor. Diazepam Binding Inhibitor (DBI), also called acyl-CoA binding protein …

Cell-specific expression of the pituitary proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene depends on the
combinatorial action of a large number of DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs). These …

As the key organ in the endocrine system, the pituitary has long been the subject of intense
scientific questioning. From the characterization of pituitary hormones to the understanding …

Glial cells have emerged as key players in the central control of energy balance and etiology
of obesity. Astrocytes play a central role in neural communication via the release of …
