Generation of Glucose-Responsive, Insulin-Producing Cells from Human Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

We sought to assess the potential of human cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CB-MSCs) to derive insulin-producing, glucose-responsive cells. We show here that differentiation protocols based on stepwise culture conditions initially described for human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) lead to di...
