Abstract

Using a unique injury model of the pancreas in mouse, now reveal the involvement of neurogenin3, a marker for embryonic-type endocrine progenitor cells, in the formation of new insulin-producing β cells. These neurogenin3-positive facultative endocrine progenitor cells in the adult pancreas may be of potential value for treating diabetes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
