Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides methods to promote the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into insulin producing cells. In particular, the present invention provides a method to produce cells expressing markers characteristic of the pancreatic endocrine lineage that co-express NKX6.1 and insulin and minimal amounts of glucagon.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method to generate a population of pancreatic endocrine cells that co-express NKX6.1 and insulin, the method comprising the steps of: a) culturing human pluripotent stem cells; b) differentiating the human pluripotent stem cells of step a) into definitive endoderm cells by culturing the human pluripotent stem cells in medium comprising a TGF-β receptor agonist; c) differentiating the definitive endoderm cells of step b) into pancreatic endoderm cells b…
