Endoderm and Pancreatic Islet Lineage Differentiation from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) are a potential source of insulin-producing tissue for transplantation. Recent studies have begun to define factors that promote definitive endoderm formation from HESCs, but conditions permitting complete islet specification in vitro have not been described. Here, we study spontaneous differentiation of HESCs to definitive endoderm and pancreatic progenitor cells, and begin to...
