Abstract excerpt
beta-Cell replacement therapy via islet transplantation is a promising possibility for the optimal treatment of type 1 diabetes; however, such an approach is severely limited by the shortage of donor organs. This problem could be overcome if it were possible to generate transplantable islets from stem cells. We showed previously that adult beta-cells might originate from duct or duct-associated cells.
