Abstract:
본 발명은 신생돼지로부터 췌도를 분리하는 방법에 관한 것으로, 구체적으로 (a) 신생돼지로부터 췌도를 적출하는 단계; (b) 적출한 췌장에 효소를 주입하는 단계; 및 (c) 효소의 활성화를 유도하는 단계를 포함하는 신생돼지의 췌도 분리 방법에 관한 것으로, 본 발명에 따른 췌도의 분리 방법을 이용하면 신생돼지로부터 높은 효율로 양질의 췌도를 분리해낼 수 있는바, 이종간 이식을 위한 췌도 분리 기술로서 활용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 신생돼지 췌도의 분리와 배양 및 정도 분석 기술을 개발함으로써, 당뇨병 치료 등 생명의학 분야에서 널리 활용될 수 있다.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an in vitromethod for obtaining cells of the pancreatic endocrine lineage, comprising a step of culturing pancreatic progenitor cells, wherein said pancreatic progenitor cells are in a cell culture medium comprising at least one BET inhibitor.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods for treating type 1 diabetes by reversing autoimmunity and replenishing beta cells. More specifically, type 1 diabetes is treated by administering exogenous Sox9+ cells and a low dose of gastrin and epidermal growth factor (GE) under hyperglycemia or medium hyperglycemia condition during or after induction of mixed chimerism in a subject.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods of producing mammalian cell populations that include a high proportion of pancreatic beta cells are described herein. Such cell populations are useful for treatment of diabetes. Also provided are materials and methods for the direct differentiation of stem cells, such as embryonic stem cells, into functional pancreatic beta cells. The disclosure provides the benefit of direct differentiation, which results in the production of functional pancreatic beta cells efficiently and at low cost.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods for generating SC-β cells, and isolated populations of SC-β cells for use in various applications, such as cell therapy.

Abstract:
The invention provides stem cell derived beta-pancreatic cells and animal models of T2D in which cells have been grafted. The stem cells bear a mutated form of SLC30A8 conferring protection or susceptibility to T2D. The cells and animal models can be used for drug screening as well as to provide insights into the mechanism of T2D and potentially new therapeutic and diagnostic targets.
