PANIC-ATTAC: A Mouse Model for Inducible and Reversible β-Cell Ablation
9 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Islet transplantations have been performed clinically, but their practical applications are limited. An extensive effort has been made toward the identification of pancreatic beta-cell stem cells that has yielded many insights to date, yet targeted reconstitution of beta-cell mass remains elusive.
