Differentiation of Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells into Aggregates of Insulin-Producing Cells through the Overexpression of Pancreatic and Duodenal Homeobox Gene-1

The pancreatic and duodenal homeobox gene 1 (Pdx-1) plays a key role in normal pancreas development and is required for maintaining the normal function of islets. In this study, we examined whether human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hASCs) could differentiate into insulin-producing cells by ex...
