Two Types of iPSC-Derived Hypothalamic Neurons (1 of 2)

Caption

This image shows two types of iPSC-derived hypothalamic neurons: α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) neurons (magenta) and neurophysin II neurons (cyan). α-MSH is involved in appetite control and energy expenditure, while neurophysin II is involved in regulating blood pressure and milk production.
