Research progress of trans-differentiation of hepatic oval cells into pancreatic beta cells
Online published: 2011-02-01
Hepatic oval cells are pluripotent stem cells, which can be induced to trans-differentiate into pancreatic β cells under certain conditions. Many factors such as diabetes mellitus, extracellular matrix, cytokines and pancreatic islet transcription factor may be involved in the trans-differentiation of hepatic oval cells into pancreatic β cells. This article reviews the influential factors in the trans-differentiation of hepatic oval cells into pancreatic β cells.
