Derivation of Diverse Hormone-Releasing Pituitary Cells from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Summary: Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide an unlimited cell source for regenerative medicine. Hormone-producing cells are particularly suitable for cell therapy, and hypopituitarism, a defect in pituitary gland function, represents a promising therapeutic target. Previous studies have de...
