Biological characteristics of two transplantable pituitary tumors of Syrian hamsters.

appear to be common in the Syrian hamster. Among thirteen spontaneous tumors occurring in one series of a thousand hamsters of unspecified age, none were of pituitary origin (1). No pituitary tumors were reported among 226 animals autop sied at the end of a normal life span, although the majority of these old hamsters had both benign and malignant neoplasms which were frequently multiple (2). O...

Outcome of Transphenoid Surgery for Corticotroph Pituitary Tumors

Background & Importance: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the result of transsphenoid microsurgery for Cushing disease in our center and comparing the results in details with other articles, to achieve the best decision for patients management in future. Case Presentation: Between 1991 to 2015, 50 patients suffering from Cushing disease were operated. Before operation, endocrine t...

Computational Aspects of Aggregation in Biological Systems

Many biologically relevant dynamical systems are aggregable, in the sense that one can divide their microvariables x1, . . . , xn into several (k) nonintersecting groups and find functions y1, . . . , yk (k < n) from these groups (macrovariables) whose dynamics only depend on the initial state of the macrovariable. For example, the state of a population genetic system can be described by listin...
