HES-1 Is Involved in Adaptation of Adult Human β-Cells to Proliferation In Vitro
2008-07-04
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE—In vitro expansion of β-cells from adult human islets could solve the tissue shortage for cell replacement therapy of diabetes. Culture of human islet cells typically results in <16 cell doublings and loss of insulin expression. Using cell lineage tracing, we demonstrated that the expanded cell population included cells derived from β-cells. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in β-cel...
