A prioritized medium-throughput screen on human stem cell derived insulin secreting beta cells identifies FGF4, FGF5, FGF8F, FGF19 and FGF21 as protective factors
Insulin is produced by pancreatic β cells, whose dysfunction and death are hallmarks of diabetes. Stem cell-derived β-like cells (SCβ cells) are a potential alternative to cadaveric islets for replace...

Check out the first result of a really fun collaboration with @jimjohnsonsci.bsky.social and @wywywa.bsky.social labs. We find new factors that improve stem cell-derived beta cell survival. Supported by @breakthrought1dca.bsky.social Centre of Exellence @ubcmedicine.bsky.social
