A programmable synthetic lineage-control network that differentiates human IPSCs into glucose-sensitive insulin-secreting beta-like cells

Synthetic biology offers the potential for the design and implementation of rationally designed, complex genetic programmes. Here the authors design a genetic network to trigger the differentiation of patient derived IPSCs into beta-like cells.
