Functional anterior pituitary generated in self-organizing culture of human embryonic stem cells
It is difficult to generate functional human anterior pituitary tissues in vitro. Here, Ozone et al. generate human anterior pituitary from embryonic stem cells by recapitulating in vivodevelopment, and demonstrate this tissue secretes hormones and rescues hypopituitarism when grafted into mice.
