β-Cell Differentiation from a Human Pancreatic Cell Line in Vitro and in Vivo
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Cell transplantation therapy for diabetes is limited by an inadequate supply of cells exhibiting glucose-responsive insulin secretion. To generate an unlimited supply of human beta-cells, inducibly transformed pancreatic beta-cell lines have been created by expression of dominant oncogenes. The cell lines grow indefinitely but lose differentiated function. Induction of beta-cell differentiation was achieved by...
