Gland tissue refers to a type of specialized body tissue found in glands. Glands are organs in our body that produce and release substances like hormones and enzymes.
Gland tissue is responsible for making and secreting these substances, which are essential for the proper functioning of our body.

In the dog the main causes are direct injury to the
adrenal gland tissue, infection or certain autoimmune conditions.
Sarah Knox, PhD, an assistant professor of cell and tissue biology in the School of Dentistry, is working to improve patients» quality of life by repairing damaged
salivary gland tissue with stem cells.
Glutathione recycling helps balance the immune system, protect the
thyroid gland tissue from damage caused autoimmune attacks, and also helps repair damage.
We have developed a new technique to specifically label and purify breast stem cells from
mammary gland tissue.
Researchers studied kidney biopsy samples from 24 patients with lupus nephritis and salivary
gland tissue from 31 patients with Sjogren's syndrome and compared them to healthy tissue.

gland tissue with supplements!!!
The scientists recently received a five - year, $ 1.6 million grant from the National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research, a part of the National Institutes of Health, to study stem cells that may restore salivary
gland tissue damaged by cancer treatment.
A new approach to analyzing
prostate gland tissue may help address a major challenge in treating prostate cancer - determining which tumors are unlikely to progress and which could be life threatening and require treatment.
This disease occurs when the thyroid
gland tissue becomes inflamed and damaged because the immune system produces damaging antibodies that attack the gland.
Even with both main salivary glands removed, ranulas and mucoceles can recur from the smaller salivary
gland tissue throughout the neck region.
The authors believe theirs is the first study to show that mouse
mammary gland tissues are sensitive to a mixture of 23 commonly used UOG chemicals, with dose - specific effects on tissue morphology, cell proliferation and induction of intraductal hyperplasias, an overgrowth of cells considered a marker for future breast cancer risk.
After surgically removing the diseased gland, the normal
adrenal gland tissue will be atrophic and glucocorticoid, and sometimes mineralocorticoid supplementation is necessary in the perioperative and postoperative period.
The antibody tests determine whether the hypothyroidism stems from an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's, which attacks and destroys
thyroid gland tissue.
Dr. Yeh hopes that within the next decade stem cells can be transfused into damaged human salivary glands to jumpstart tissue repair or engineered into artificial
salivary gland tissue to replace damaged glands.
Place breast between hands horizontally, moving
the gland tissue back and forward.
While one hand supports the breast, put three or four fingers of the other hand on the breast using it to massage
the gland tissue in a circular motion.
Knox thinks this is because the stem cells require signals from nearby nerve cells to start the maturation process, but the nerve cells also stop functioning when
the gland tissue dies.
This review addresses the pathophysiology underlying irradiation damage to salivary
gland tissue, the consequences of radiation...
In men this can sometimes be mistaken for the condition of gynecomastia — a condition that includes not only fat build up, but growth in
gland tissue.
This is any tumor originating from the mammary
gland tissues.
Autoimmune diseases are when the body's immune system malfunctions and goes into overdrive, falsely recognizing some of its own tissue as foreign (in this scenario, thyroid
gland tissue); this leads to the formation of autoantibodies (a.k.a. antibodies against the body's own tissue).
Mammary tumors present as a single lump, a solid mass or as multiple swellings in the mammary
gland tissue.
Lysodren has been used to treat Cushing's disease for many years, and it works by destroying the adrenal
gland tissue.
For example, canine cancer of thyroid
gland tissues can affect adjacent tissues of the respiratory system too, which in general is called «metastasis».
