The correlation among Claudin-9, Tyrosine kinase-2, and Signal transducers and activators of  transcription-3 expressions in non-functioning pituitary adenoma and invasiveness
CONCLUSION: Upregulated CLDN9 may increase the NFPA invasiveness through STAT3. In addition, low TYK2 expression might enhance the invasiveness in NFPA, which needs further studies to confirm. These results could provide a promising research leads for targeted treatment of NFPA.PMID:38131177 (Source: Neuroendocrinology Letters)

Aerobic exercise interventions to address impaired quality of life in patients with pituitary tumors
by Christopher S. Hong, Timothy R. Smith Patients with pituitary tumors may experience persistent fatigue and reduced physical activity, based on subjective measures after treatment. These symptoms may persist despite gross total resection of their tumors and biochemical normalization of pituitary function. While reduced quality of life has been commonly acknowledged in pituitary tumor patients, there is a lack of studies on what interventions may be best implemented to ameliorate these issues, particularly when hormonal levels have otherwise normalized. Aerobic exercise programs have been previously described to ameliora...

Clinical and Molecular Characteristics of Gonadotroph Pituitary Tumors According to the WHO Classification
This study indicates that hormone-negative GnPT tend to occur in older patients but do not significantly differ from other GnPT in terms of invasion or proliferation. It also points out the current limits of D2R immunostaining in such tumors. (Source: Endocrine Pathology)

FAF1 Gene Involvement in Pituitary Corticotroph Tumors
In conclusion, we identified two FAF1 variants in patients diagnosed with CD with a potential pathogenic effect on the protein function and structure. Our in vitro and in vivo studies did not reveal an association of FAF1 defects with pituitary tumorigenesis and further studies may be needed to understand any association.PMID:38065537 | DOI:10.1055/a-2192-1761 (Source: Cell Research)
