Directed Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells into the Pancreatic Endocrine Lineage
1 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem (hES) cells represent a potentially unlimited source of transplantable beta-cells for the treatment of diabetes. Here we describe a differentiation strategy that reproducibly directs HES3, an National Institutes of Health (NIH)-registered hES cell line, into cells of the pancreatic endocrine lineage. HES3 cells are removed from their feeder layer and cultured as embryoid bodies in a...
