Single-cell transcriptional profile construction of rat pituitary glands before and after sexual maturation and identification of novel marker Spp1 in gonadotropes
Pituitary is considered as a homogeneous organ composed with hormonal and nonhormonal cells .Sexual development is controled by the fuction of pituitary.We used single cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)to analyze the diversity of rat pituitary glands before and after sexual maturation.
