Modulation of Specific Beta Cell Gene (Re)Expression during In Vitro Expansion of Human Pancreatic Islet Cells

The need for transplantable beta cells with a stable phenotype has given rise to several strategies including the expansion of existing pancreatic islets and/or growth of new ones. In vitro studies of beta cell proliferation on extracellular matrices plus growth factors have highlighted a possible c...
