Suitable quantification approaches that rely on counting and tracking of single fluorescently labelled (bio) nanoparticles are often challenging since fluorophore self-quenching limits the maximum particle brightness. Here we study how the number of labels per nanoparticle influences the total brightness of fluorescently labelled cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV). We analyze in detail the photophysical interplay between the fluorophores on the virus particles. We deduce that the formation of dark aggregates and energy transfer towards these aggregates limits the total particle brightness that can be achieved. We show that by carefully selecting the number of fluorescent labels per CCMV, and thus minimizing the negative effects on particle brightness, it is possible to quantify fluorescently labelled CCMV concentrations down to fM concentrations in single particle counting experiments.Ubiquitous overactivation of Hedgehog signaling in adult pituitaries results in increased expression of proopiomelanocortin (Pomc), growth hormone (Gh) and prolactin (Prl), elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (Acth) production and proliferation of Sox2+ cells. Moreover, ACTH, GH and PRL-expressing human pituitary adenomas strongly express the Hedgehog target GLI1. Accordingly, Hedgehog signaling seems to play an important role in pathology and probably also in homeostasis of the adult hypophysis. However, the specific Hedgehog-responsive pituitary cell type has not yet been identified. We here investigated the Hedgehog pathway activation status and the effects of deregulated Hedgehog signaling cell-specifically in endocrine and non-endocrine pituitary cells. We demonstrate that Hedgehog signaling is unimportant for the homeostasis of corticotrophs, whereas it is active in subpopu
