Abstract

Two promising approaches toward a cell-based cure for diabetes are the directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells or lineage reprogramming of other cell types to generate beta cells. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Ariyachet et al. (2016) reprogrammed gastric endocrine cells to generate a renewable source of insulin-producing cells.
