NKX6.1 Promotes PDX-1-Induced Liver to Pancreatic β-Cells Reprogramming
25 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Reprogramming adult mammalian cells is an attractive approach for generating cell-based therapies for degenerative diseases, such as diabetes. Adult human liver cells exhibit a high level of developmental plasticity and have been suggested as a potential source of pancreatic progenitor tissue. An instructive role for dominant pancreatic transcription factors in altering the hepatic developmental fate along the...
