Preface
In this first chapter of the Yearbook, we present recent advances in the development/ontogeny of the pituitary, genetics of hypopituitarism, clinical and translational aspects, and lastly we describe two papers on the relationship between pituitary function and viral disease. We hope that our selection of papers is both educational and interesting to all readers.
