Abstract Synopsis

  • Human pancreatic cells are essential for regulating blood sugar levels through insulin release, but they can become damaged or lost due to disease, leading to diabetes.
  • Most of the cell growth and development occur early after birth, after which the ability for these cells to regenerate becomes limited and stable throughout life.
  • Researchers are exploring ways to restart cell growth or create new cells to treat diabetes, and although it remains challenging, progress is being made toward this goal.
