Abstract

Understanding the cellular diversity of the human hypothalamus has been limited by the lack of accessible models. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Abay-Nørgaard et al.<sup>1</sup> demonstrate that temporal control of BMP signaling during human pluripotent stem cell differentiation generates diverse hypothalamic populations, providing a platform to study human hypothalamic development and function.
