In vitro models of endocrinology: organoids from pituitary and endometrium

Vankelecom Hugo

The pituitary gland harbors stem cells whose role and regulation remain poorly understood. We recently established organoids from (mouse) pituitary as a novel research model to study pituitary stem cell biology (Cox et al., J Endocrinol 2019). Organoids represent 3D in vitro cell structures that self-develop from tissue stem cells under defined culture conditions, and that reproduce multiple aspects of the original healthy or diseased tissue. Organoi...
