Abstract:Insulin-producing human embryonic stem cell-derived β (SC-β) cells are a promising cell source for diabetes cell replacement therapy. We have recently reported a differentiation strategy that produces SC-β cells in islet organoids that not only undergo glucose-stimulated insulin secretion but also have an islet-like dynamic insulin release profile, displaying both first and second phase insulin secretion. The goal of this study was to further characterize the functional profile of these SC-β cells in vitro. We… Show more
