Current Research Concerning the RAS in Pancreatic Stem Cells

摘要: The explosion in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus has expanded beyond Western world into Asian countries such as China. Given complication diabetes, this expanding carries an attendant medical, social and financial burden for with afflicted populations. Central to pathogenesis is a state insulin insufficiency, either absolute case type 1 (T1DM) or relative 2 (T2DM). administration exogenous contributes management T2DM, become mainstay treatment T1DM. However, therapy brings it substantial lifestyle impact. It context that recent success islet transplantation field offers promise diabetic patients. A lack availability human donor islets transplantation, however, hampers development implementation novel therapeutic strategies. new source cells must be identified and, context, induction embryonic somatic stem cell differentiation hope. Embryonic (ESCs) display features suggesting their pancreatic insulin-producing may possible. true origin release from these uncertain, remains concern have tumorigenic properties. Stem derived pancreas itself, might offer exciting alternative. That exist suggests endocrine capable regeneration long adulthood. potential use (PSCs) mature recently been fuelled by demonstration induced differentiate islet-like clusters (ICCs). Nevertheless, putative so far failed achieve full maturation.
