These adenomas often grow slowly and secrete hormones in patterns that are not well understood, potentially leading to necrosis of surrounding brain tissue, thereby affecting neurological functions.

[2] The discovery of null cells in the benign adenohypophysis suggests that such adenomas might evolve from pre-existing benign null cells, shedding light on the tumors' origins and potential interventions.

[3] In relation to viral infections, the interaction between viruses and the immune system can lead to the emergence of null cells with impaired functionality.

For example, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been shown to induce T-lymphocytes to stop expressing CD28 and other critical surface molecules.

[4] Understanding the roles and mechanisms of null cells within the immune system and in pathological conditions such as cancer and viral infections not only provides insights into fundamental biological processes but also opens avenues for therapeutic interventions targeting these unique cell types.
