Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Pituitary stem cells play a role in the oncogenesis of human adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas (aCPs). We hypothesized that crosstalk between the Wnt/β-catenin and Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) pathways, both of which are important in normal pituitary development, would contribute to the pathogenesis of aCPs. DESIGN: To explore the mRNA and protein expression of components of the SHH signaling pathway in...
