Automated, high-throughput assays for evaluation of human pancreatic islet function.

abstract：:Development of β-cells from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) could compensate for the shortage of islet donors required for diabetes therapy. Although pancreatic progenitors have been derived from hESCs using various protocols, no fully functional b-cells could be generated in vitro. We evaluated the in vivo growth ...
