... are partially co-expressed in the ventral diencephalon and the infundibulum; however, a functional requirement in murine pituitary development has not been reported. Here, we show by genetic lineage tracing that Tbx2 + cells constitute the precursor population of the neurohypophysis. However, Tbx2...

... Neurohypophysis FGF signaling Ectopic pituitary Mouse The pituitary is a crucial hormone release site that is derived from an evagination of the oral ectoderm, termed Rathke's pouch, and a part of the diencephalic neuroectoderm, termed infundibulum. The developmental interactions between these tissues...

...Wiebke Herzog; Carmen Sonntag; Sophia von der Hardt; Henry H. Roehl; Zoltan M. Varga; Matthias Hammerschmidt The pituitary gland consists of two major parts: the neurohypophysis, which is of neural origin; and the adenohypophysis, which is of non-neural ectodermal origin. Development...
