Abstract

In this study, Millman and colleagues report a differentiation strategy to generate β-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells with islet-like dynamic insulin release that rapidly reverses diabetes in mice. The authors elucidate that stage-specific control of TGF-β signaling during endocrine induction and maturation to be critical for robust function.
