Understanding how beta cells first form in the developing embryo is providing scientists with the know-how to make these cells in the lab.

With gratitude to our funders:
HumEn www.hum-en.eu/
This project, HumEn - Upscaling human insulin-producing beta cell production by efficient differentiation and expansion of endoderm progenitors - has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement No 602587
Revive www.revive.fr
The consortium Revive is a selected project of the ANR "Laboratoire d'Excellence" programme (2011 - 2019) with research activity on stem cells in regenerative biology and medicine
The hope is that lab-grown beta cells could, in the future, be used as a therapy for Diabetes. This animation creates a visual story of how we think the pancreas, which is the home of beta cells, forms. From small buds the pancreas develops into the intricate network of branches we see in an adult. Creative scientific experiments are, piece by piece, revealing the complex mechanisms that underpin this dynamic development.
