Pancreatic [beta]-cell regeneration: advances in understanding the genes and signaling pathways involved

Editorial summary Recent advances in [beta]-cell regeneration in vivo are providing insights into the mechanisms involved in the conversion of distinct pancreatic cell lineages into [beta] cells. These mechanisms mostly involve reactivation of the gene encoding the pancreatic endocrine cell-specifyi...

Description
Summary:Editorial summary Recent advances in [beta]-cell regeneration in vivo are providing insights into the mechanisms involved in the conversion of distinct pancreatic cell lineages into [beta] cells. These mechanisms mostly involve reactivation of the gene encoding the pancreatic endocrine cell-specifying transcription factor neurogenin-3.
