Transplantation of Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Pancreatic Endoderm Reveals a Site-Specific Survival, Growth, and Differentiation
4 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Development of β-cells from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) could compensate for the shortage of islet donors required for diabetes therapy. Although pancreatic progenitors have been derived from hESCs using various protocols, no fully functional b-cells could be generated in vitro. We evaluated the in vivo growth and differentiation of PDX1+ pancreatic endoderm cells obtained from hESCs. Here we show...
