Differentiation protocol for generating functional pancreatic β cells from human pluripotent stem cells

Year: 2021

Type: preprint

Abstract: The efficient generation of pancreatic β cells from human pluripotent stem cells may allow us to study their biological characteristics and use them for the treatment of type I diabetes. The protocol we present in the study provides an efficient method for producing β cells using either human embryonic stem cells or human induced pluripotent stem cells as the starting material.
