Abstract

Understanding mechanisms for maintaining pancreatic islet cell fate and function is important for addressing the urgent challenge of restoring islet β- and α-cell function in T1DM. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Chakravarthy et al. (2017) identify a genetic mechanism by which mouse β-cells are spontaneously regenerated from adult α-cells.
