Generation Of Functional Insulin-Producing Cells In The Gut By Foxo1 Ablation

Restoration of regulated insulin secretion is the ultimate goal of type 1 diabetes therapy. Here we show that, surprisingly, somatic ablation of Foxo1 in Neurog3+ enteroendocrine progenitor cells gives rise to gut insulin-positive cells (Ins+) that express markers of mature β-cells, and secrete bioa...
