Identification of microRNAs expressed highly in pancreatic islet-like cell clusters differentiated from human embryonic stem cells
26 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet beta cell disease, making it important to find a new alternative source of the islet beta cells to replace the damaged cells. hES (human embryonic stem) cells possess unlimited self-renewal and pluripotency and thus have the potential to provide an unlimited supply of different cell types for tissue replacement. The hES-T3 cells with normal female...
