PROGRESS IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND CLASSIFICATION OF PITUITARY ADENOMAS

Progress in the diagnosis and classification of pituitary adenomas

Pituitary adenomas are common neoplasms.Their classification is based upon size, invasion of adjacent structures, sporadic Front End Cover or familial cases, biochemical activity, clinical manifestations, morphological characteristics, response to treatment and recurrence.Although they are considered benign tumors, some of them are difficult to tre

In vivo lineage tracing reveals Axin2-expressing, long-lived cortical thymic epithelial progenitors in the postnatal thymus.

In the thymus, cortical and medullary thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are instrumental for generating a repertoire of functional T cells.Hence, there has been much interest in the ontogeny of TECs.While medullary TEC (mTEC) and bipotent progenitors have been identified, the existence of a cortical TEC (cTEC) progenitor remains ambiguous.In this stud
