The year 2021 ended with an event of great sadness: the death of Andrée Tixier-Vidal. She was not only a pioneer in cell biology but also the charismatic promoter of stimulating and successful multidisciplinary collaborations. Her achievements led to subsequent major discoveries on both the stimulation-secretion coupling of pituitary endocrine cells and the hitherto unknown organization of these cells into multicellular 3D networks which build-up highly organized pulses of pituitary hormones controlling basic body functions such as growth and reproduction.
2021年以一场巨大的悲痛事件告终：安德烈·蒂克西尔-维达尔与世长辞。她不仅是细胞生物学的先驱，还是激发并促成成功的多学科合作的魅力推动者。她的成就促成了随后在垂体内分泌细胞刺激-分泌偶联方面的重大发现，以及这些细胞形成多细胞三维网络的未知组织方式，这些网络产生高度有组织的垂体激素脉冲，控制着诸如生长和繁殖等基本身体功能。
