Expansion and conversion of human pancreatic ductal cells into insulin-secreting endocrine cells
Pancreatic islet β-cell insufficiency underlies pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus; thus, functional β-cell replacement from renewable sources is the focus of intensive worldwide effort. However, in vitro production of progeny that secrete insulin in response to physiological cues from primary human...

Pancreatic islet β-cell insufficiency underlies pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus; thus, functional β-cell replacement from renewable sources is the focus of intensive worldwide effort.

FACS-sorted adult human ductal cells clonally expanded as spheres in culture, while retaining ductal characteristics.
