Significant advances have been made in defining the transcription cascade that is
responsible for the early steps of pituitary formation and the environmental signals that
induce, pattern and specify the pituitary gland and its cell types. It is now possible to outline
the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of the pituitary gland, as well as the
initial development of organ-specific cell types.
