Macrophages are present throughout the anterior pituitary gland. However, the features and
function of macrophages in the gland are poorly understood. Recent studies have indicated …

An appropriate sensory experience during the early developmental period is important for
brain maturation. Dark rearing during the visual critical period delays the maturation of …

Recently, we showed that hormone‐producing cells express N‐cadherin, while folliculo‐stellate
cells and marginal layer cells express E‐cadherin in the adult rat anterior pituitary gland. …

In the rat anterior pituitary gland, folliculo‐stellate cells aggregate preferably to form
pseudofollicles, and each type of hormone‐producing cell shows adhesive affinity with particular …

Background/Aim: The importance of compliance with National Comprehensive Cancer
Network (NCCN) guidelines for preventing varicella-zoster virus reactivation (VZVr) in multiple …

Retinoic acid (RA) plays a critical role in normal development and tissue maintenance and is
also a regulatory factor of anterior pituitary cells. We previously demonstrated that a retinoic …

In the anterior and intermediate lobes of the rat pituitary gland, non-hormone-producing cells
that express S-100 protein coexist with various types of hormone-producing cells and are …

Cadherins are a family of transmembrane glycoproteins that mediate cell-to-cell adhesion.
Isoforms, including E-and N-cadherin, have been identified and shown to regulate …

© 2013 The Japan Society of Histochemistry and Expression of (pro) renin receptor ((P) RR),
a specific receptor for renin and prorenin, was studied in rat pituitary gland. In situ …

Results: No animal died intraoperatively. One animal subjected to bicuspidalization died of
respiratory failure during postoperative imaging studies. Echocardiography showed the aortic …
