This review aims to investigate the contribution of pituitary stem cells to pituitary tumour formation and maintenance.
Summarised evidence linking pituitary stem cells and tumour stem-like populations to tumour biology.
Evaluated findings from single-cell RNA sequencing studies and murine lineage-tracing models.
Proposed criteria for defining tumor stem cells and a framework for future genomic analyses.
Identified functional roles of pituitary stem cells in tumour initiation and progression.
Highlighted stem/progenitor populations across different tumour subtypes based on transcriptomic analysis.
Discussed potential therapeutic strategies targeting stem-like populations and their signalling pathways.
