Pancreatic β-cell regeneration: advances in understanding the genes and signaling pathways involved

Editorial summary Recent advances in β-cell regeneration in vivo are providing insights into the mechanisms involved in the conversion of distinct pancreatic cell lineages into β cells. These mechanisms mostly involve reactivation of the gene encoding the pancreatic endocrine cell-specifying transcr...
