Abstract

Augsornworawat et al. demonstrate that in vitro human stem-cell-derived islets have immature transcriptome profiles when compared to native human islets. After transplantation, immature SC-islet cells undergo drastic changes in transcriptome and acquire mature gene expression. Grafted SC-β cells express mature β cell genes, including MAFA and G6PC2, resembling native human islets.
