Generation of Insulin-Producing Islet-Like Clusters from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
17 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Recent success in pancreatic islet transplantation has energized the field to discover an alternative source of stem cells with differentiation potential to beta cells. Generation of glucose-responsive, insulin-producing beta cells from self-renewing, pluripotent human ESCs (hESCs) has immense potential for diabetes treatment. We report here the development of a novel serum-free protocol to generate...
