摘要
The need for a reliable source of functional β cells has led to many new investigations in an effort to drive the differentiation of embryonic stem cells, of putative stem cells, or of pancreatic progenitor cells to form new β cells. There appears to be a plasticity of pancreatic cells in vitro that may be exploited to generate the necessary β cells. Major questions still remain: whether there are true pancreatic stem cells, what are the pancreatic progenitor cells after birth, and whether expanded β cells themselves could serve as the source.
