Provided are methods, compositions and kits for generating beta cells from pluripotent stem cells under growth-factor free, defined culture conditions. The beta cells can be generated under conditions that are free of animal products. The generated beta cells secrete insulin, not glucagon, and the amount of insulin secreted is dependent upon the level of glucose stimulus.

The present disclosure relates to the reversal of T cell exhaustion using aplysiatoxin analogs or PKC theta agonist compounds for anti-cancer immunotherapy. The treatment with aplysiatoxin analogs or PKC theta agonist compounds improve the anti-tumour activity of a T cell, inducing a NFAT-dependent T cell activation, increasing the pool of immune-checkpoint inhibitor responsive T cells, increasing lymphocyte infiltration and increasing the population of activated CD4+ and/or CD8+ cells. The methods of the present disclosure provide treatment of tumors and infections.
