Pituitary stem/progenitor cells: embryonic players in the adult gland?

The European journal of neuroscience - 1 Dec 2010

Vankelecom Hugo

Abstract excerpt

The pituitary gland represents the endocrine core of the body, and its hormonal output governs many key physiological processes. Because endocrine demands frequently change, the pituitary has to flexibly remodel its hormone-producing cell compartment. One mechanism of pituitary plasticity may rely on the generation of new hormonal cells from resident stem/progenitor cells. Existence of such 'master' cells in the...
