Pathways governing development of stem cell‐derived pancreatic β cells: lessons from embryogenesis

Abstract excerpt

The loss of functional β cells leads to development of diabetes. Several studies have shown that β cells are specified through several stages of progenitors during pancreas development, each stage defined by the expression of specific transcription factors (TFs). Understanding signalling pathways that control the differentiation and specification processes during embryogenesis will facilitate efforts to obtain...
