Reprogrammed Cells Produce Insulin
Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:03:22 -0400
Douglas Melton and colleagues have used proteins called transcription factors to change one cell type directly into another, essentially reprogramming a cell’s DNA so that it becomes a beta cell. The work is a major step forward toward eventually developing a treatment for diabetes. Additional topics at Diabetes More disease-related research at Consumer information
