Incomplete Re‐Expression of Neuroendocrine Progenitor/Stem Cell Markers is a Key Feature of β‐Cell Dedifferentiation
28 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
There is increasing evidence to suggest that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), a pandemic metabolic disease, may be caused by β-cell dedifferentiation (βCD). However, there is currently no universal definition of βCD, and the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. We hypothesise that a high-glucose in vitro environment mimics hyperglycaemia in vivo and that β cells grown in this milieu over a long period will...
