Shoen Kume - Towards a new therapy for diabetes - Regenerating pancreas from ES and iPS cells

A potential new treatment for diabetes is emerging in the form of regenerative medicine. The focus is on producing pancreatic beta cells, the cells that secrete insulin, in a test tube for later transplant. Professor Shoen Kume at the School of Life Science and Technology is working on the generation of beta cells from embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
