Adrenocortical Zonation Results from Lineage Conversion of Differentiated Zona Glomerulosa Cells

TLDR
It is demonstrated that adrenocortical zonation and regeneration result from lineage conversion and may provide a paradigm for homeostatic cellular renewal in other tissues.

Adult cell plasticity in vivo : de-differentiation and transdifferentiation are back in style

TL;DR: This work has demonstrated that certain adult cells retain the capacity to de-differentiate or transdifferentiate under physiological conditions, as part of an organ's normal injury response.

Aldosterone-stimulating somatic gene mutations are common in normal adrenal glands

TL;DR: The APCC transcriptome is characterized and it is shown that CYP11B2 expression is increased compared with the rest of the adrenal cortex and that many APCCs harbor known aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA)-related ion channels/pumps that stimulate CYP12A2 expression and ald testosterone production.

Plasticity within stem cell hierarchies in mammalian epithelia.

TL;DR: Recent examples of plasticity within an individual tissue stem cell hierarchy may be much more common than previously appreciated, highlighting the different modes of regeneration and their implications for the understanding of cellular hierarchy and tissue self-renewal.

Development of Adrenal Cortex Zonation

TL;DR: The human adult adrenal cortex is composed of the zona glomerulosa (zG), zona fasciculata (zF), and zona reticularis (zR), which are responsible for production of mineralocorticoids, glucocortioids, and adrenal androgens, respectively.

Expression of a single transfected cDNA converts fibroblasts to myoblasts.

TL;DR: In this article, the major open reading frame encoded by this cDNA contains a short protein segment similar to a sequence present in the myc protein family, and the expression of one of these cDNAs transfected into C3H10T1/2 fibroblasts, where it is not normally expressed, is sufficient to convert them to stable myoblasts.

A global double‐fluorescent Cre reporter mouse

TL;DR: The mT/mG mouse as mentioned in this paper is a double-fluorescent Cre reporter mouse that expresses membrane-targeted tandem dimer tomato (mT) prior to Cre-mediated excision and membranetargeted green fluorescent protein (mG) after excision.

In vivo reprogramming of adult pancreatic exocrine cells to beta-cells.

TL;DR: This study identifies a specific combination of three transcription factors (Ngn3) Pdx1 and Mafa that reprograms differentiated pancreatic exocrine cells in adult mice into cells that closely resemble β-cells, and suggests a general paradigm for directing cell reprogramming without reversion to a pluripotent stem cell state.

A cell-specific nuclear receptor is essential for adrenal and gonadal development and sexual differentiation

TL;DR: It is established that the Ftz-F1 gene is essential for sexual differentiation and formation of the primary steroidogenic tissues.

Conversion of adult pancreatic α-cells to β-cells after extreme β-cell loss

TL;DR: In this article, a transgenic model of diphtheria-toxin-induced acute selective near-total beta-cell ablation was used to investigate whether adult mammals can differentiate (regenerate) new beta-cells after extreme, total β-cell loss, as in diabetes.
