Differentiation of human adipose tissue-derived stem cells into insulin or C-peptide positive cells promoted by embryo pancreas extract and cell identification
Objective To use embryo pancreas extract(EPE) from rats to induce pancreatic differentiation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells(hASCs) into insulin-secretion cells,and to find new cell source for islet transplantation in clinic.Methods The pancreatic micro-circumstance was built for hASCs to differentiate into insulin-secretoin cells by extracting protein complex from new born SD rats.The hASCs in experiment group were induced by EPE and the cells in control group were cultured without E...
