Epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cells expanded in vitro from lineage-traced adult human pancreatic beta cells.

<h4>Background</h4>In-vitro expansion of functional beta cells from adult human islets is an attractive approach for generating an abundant source of cells for beta-cell replacement therapy of diabetes. Using genetic cell-lineage tracing we have recently shown that beta cells cultured fr...
