METHOD FOR INDUCING INSULIN SYNTHESIS IN CHORION CELLS

摘要

The present invention provides a method which is simple and easy to carry out for inducing insulin synthesis in isolated chorion cells which are obtained from the amnion. The cells are stimulated to insulin synthesis by the addition of L gastrin and GLP-1 or exendin-4, wherein a large quantity of insulin is released. The cells and the method for inducing insulin synthesis are thus suitable for the production of a means for treating diabetes mellitus.
