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...
