- Title
Towards cell therapy for diabetes.
- Authors
Madsen, Ole D.; Serup, Palle
- Abstract
The article examines the usage of embryonic stem cells as potential sources of pancreatic beta cells for the transplantation therapy involving diabetic patients. A five step medical protocol based on pancreatic development that converts embryonic stem cells into insulin producing cells is discussed. The article includes suggestions on improving the protocol to produce therapeutic beta cells that resemble human pancreatic beta cells.
