Exendin-4 Promotes Liver Cell Proliferation and Enhances the PDX-1-induced Liver to Pancreas Transdifferentiation Process

Abstract excerpt

Over the last few years, evidence has accumulated revealing the unexpected potential of committed mammalian cells to convert to a different phenotype via a process called transdifferentiation or adult cell reprogramming. These findings may have major practical implications because this process may facilitate the generation of functional autologous tissues that can be used for replacing malfunctioning organs. An...
