Three-Dimensional Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells into Islet-like Insulin-Producing Clusters
12 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
The production of mature pancreatic cells that function similarly to primary islets is the premise of cell therapy for diabetes. Here, we describe a novel approach to generating more mature insulin-producing cells from embryonic stem (ES) cells. A three-dimensional (3D) ES cell pancreatic differentiation system was developed and used to direct the ES cell differentiation into glucose-responsive, insulin-secreting...
