OBTAINING INSULIN-PRODUCING CELLS FROM EMBRYONIC AND INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS

The review discusses the problem of obtaining insulin-producing cells from embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. The results of studies of large scientific centers and laboratories working in this direction are analyzed. The complex aspects of differentiation of stem cells into functionally mature insulin-producing cells are considered in detail. The necessity of further optimization of technologies of their production for the use of the generated cells in clinical practice is shown.
