Abstract
Derivation of insulin producing cells (IPCs) from embryonic stem (ES) cells provides a potentially innovative form of treatment for type 1 diabetes. Here, we discuss the current state of the art, unique challenges, and future directions on generating IPCs. J. Cell. Physiol. 218: 256–263, 2009. Published 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
