OverviewAI-generated summary

Anessa Haney's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying pituitary gland function and its regulation by diet and hormones. Her work has focused on the role of RNA-binding proteins, such as Musashi, in controlling gene translation within the anterior pituitary, particularly concerning gonadotrope and somatotrope cell function. Haney has explored the impact of high-fat diets and oxidative stress on pituitary cell metabolism and plasticity, as well as the long-term consequences of maternal undernutrition on offspring metabolism and gene expression. Her recent publications examine how the ablation of leptin receptor signaling affects somatotrope transcriptome maturation and pituitary plasticity in aging female mice. Haney collaborates with Gwen V. Childs, Angela K. Odle, Angus M. MacNicol, and Melanie Clair Macnicol at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she has co-authored numerous publications. Her scholarship is reflected in an h-index of 11 and over 469 citations.
