The Effect of Overexpression of Pdx1 and Foxa2 on the Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells into Pancreatic Cells
5 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) are pluripotent cells that may serve as a source of cells for transplantation medicine and as a tool to study human embryogenesis. Using genetic manipulation methodologies, we have investigated the potential of HESCs to differentiate into the various pancreatic cell types. We initially created various HESCs carrying the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) reporter gene...
