Core Tip	Stem cells can be a potential source of cells for regenerative medicine for diseases caused by steroidogenesis deficiency. Among various stem cell types, mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to differentiate into steroidogenic cells both in vivo and in vitro. This system can also provide a powerful tool for studying the molecular mechanisms of steroidogenesis and its related diseases.
