Diabetes. Solving human β-cell development--what does the mouse say?

Abstract excerpt

A genetic analysis of patients with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus has revealed functional conservation of transcription factors critical for β-cell development in both mouse and man. This finding supports the use of mice for modelling human disease but also highlights the need for additional human-specific studies of β-cell function.
