Small-Molecule Inducer of β Cell Proliferation Identified by High-Throughput Screening
19 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
The identification of factors that promote β cell proliferation could ultimately move type 1 diabetes treatment away from insulin injection therapy and toward a cure. We have performed high-throughput, cell-based screens using rodent β cell lines to identify molecules that induce proliferation of β cells. Herein we report the discovery and characterization of WS6, a novel small molecule that promotes β cell...
