Effect of Wnt Signaling on the Differentiation of Islet β-Cells from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

The Wnt signaling is critical for pancreatic development and islet function; however, its precise effects on the development and function of the β-cells remain controversial. Here we examined mRNA and protein expression of components of the Wnt signaling throughout the differentiation of islet β-cel...
