In a study that could have a great impact on people with type 1 diabetes, an investigator at The Saban Research Institute of Children?s Hospital Los Angeles has discovered a key factor required for the differentiation of pancreatic insulin-producing cells. The research has been published as the cover article in the latest issue of Genes and Development.
?The field of regenerative medicine and stem cells has great potential to define new treatments that harness the body?s own developmental and restorative processes to promote healing and undo damage from chronic inflammatory or environmental injuries. The work that Dr. Senta Georgia is pursuing is a perfect example of this new frontier in biomedical investigation and health,? said Brent Polk, M.D., director of the institute.
