The present invention relates to methods for generating mature insulin-producing β-like cells comprising the steps: (a) isolating, purifying and/or enriching β-cell progenitor cells from a population of cells; (b) differentiation of the β-cell progenitor cells into immature insulin-producing β-like cells; and (c) maturation of the immature insulin-producing β-like cells into mature insulin-producing β-like cells, comprising exposing the immature insulin-producing β-like cells to calcitriol or an analogue thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods for generating mature insulin-producing β-like cells for use in treating diabetes.
本发明涉及产生成熟的胰岛素分泌β样细胞的方法,包括以下步骤: (a)从细胞群中分离、纯化和/或富集β细胞祖细胞;(b)将β细胞祖细胞分化为未成熟的胰岛素分泌β样细胞;(c)将未成熟的胰岛素分泌β样细胞成熟为成熟的胰岛素分泌β样细胞,包括将未成熟的胰岛素分泌β样细胞暴露于钙三醇或其类似物。 更具体地说,本发明涉及产生用于治疗糖尿病的成熟胰岛素分泌β样细胞的方法。
