What Universities in the USA have the capability for primary culture of pituitary and thyroid from rats and humans?

25 January 2023 0 8K Report

I'm looking for a USA-based University that is able to culture rat and human pituitary and thyroid glands to evaluate effects of chemicals on TSH and T3/T4 production. It would be beneficial if the lab also has some experience with adding liver microsomes to the culture.
