Functional Characteristics of Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells from Pituitary Adenomas

Pituitary adenomas are one of the most common endocrine and intracranial neoplasms. Although they are theoretically monoclonal in origin, several studies have shown that they contain different multipotent cell types that are thought to play an important role in tumor initiation, maintenance, and rec...
