The pituitary gland is a dynamic organ that adapts its cellular architecture throughout life, making it an ideal model for the study of stem cells (SCs), their commitment and differentiation. Sox2-expressing cells are bona fide anterior pituitary stem cells (PSCs), which through genetic lineage tracing have been shown to give rise to all anterior pituitary hormone-producing cells both in the embryo and adult. The YAP/TAZ signalling pathway has been previously...

Pituitary tumors (PT) represent 20% of all intracranial neoplasms. Some behave aggressively, growing rapidly and invading surrounding tissues, with high recurrence rates and are frequently resistant to conventional therapies. We performed exome and transcriptome sequencing, as well as methylation profiling of primary and recurrent PT of the same patient. The cohort consisted of patients with GH- and gonadotropin-producing PT and a patient with an ACTH carcinom...
