Significance The pituitary is our master endocrine gland. Local damage and aging present important threats. We started to decrypt the ill-defined regulation of the gland’s stem cells, typically dormant but acutely activated upon damage. Single-cell transcriptomics uncovered interleukin-6 as a pituit...
