<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for producing pancreatic islet cells from embryonic stem cells. <P>SOLUTION: Differentiation is initiated towards endoderm cells, and focused using reagents that promote emergence of pancreatic islet precursors and mature insulin-secreting cells. High quality populations of pancreatic islet cells can be produced in commercial quantities for use in research, drug screening, or regenerative medicine. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
