## Abstract Islet cell replacement is considered as the optimal treatment for type I diabetes. However, the availability of human pancreatic islets for transplantation is limited. Here, we show that human bone marrowβderived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) could be induced to differentiate into func

## Abstract Multipotential mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from bone marrow can differentiate into multiple mesenchymal tissues and exhibit a neuronal phenotype under appropriate induction conditions. Methods promoting neural differentiation have been adapted to derive insulin producing cell
Tissue engineering using living cells is emerging as an alternative to tissue or organ transplantation. The adult mesenchymal stem cells can be differentiated into multilineage cells, such as adipocytes, chondrocytes, or osteoblasts when cultured with specific growth factors. In the present investig
## Abstract ## Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have drawn considerable attention as vehicles for cellβ or geneβbased therapies, yet various problems still exist for current gene delivery vectors. On the other hand, baculovirus has emerged as a novel gene therapy vector, but its transducti
