Journal ArticleDOI
Production of pancreatic hormone–expressing endocrine cells from human embryonic stem cells
Kevin A. D'Amour,Anne G. Bang,Susan Eliazer,Olivia Kelly,Alan D. Agulnick,Nora G Smart,Mark A. Moorman,Evert Kroon,Melissa K Carpenter,Emmanuel E. Baetge +9 more
TL;DR: A differentiation process that converts human embryonic stem cells to endocrine cells capable of synthesizing the pancreatic hormones insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide and ghrelin is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pancreatic endoderm derived from human embryonic stem cells generates glucose-responsive insulin-secreting cells in vivo
Evert Kroon,Laura Martinson,Kuniko Kadoya,Anne G. Bang,Olivia Kelly,Susan Eliazer,Holly Y. Young,Mike Richardson,Nora G. Smart,Justine J Cunningham,Alan D. Agulnick,Kevin A. D'Amour,Melissa K. Carpenter,Emmanuel E. Baetge +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that pancreatic endoderm derived from human embryonic stem (hES) cells efficiently generates glucose-responsive endocrine cells after implantation into mice, and it is demonstrated that implantation of hES cell–derived pancreaticEndoderm protects against streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to definitive endoderm.
TL;DR: The process of definitive endoderm formation in differentiating hES cell cultures includes an apparent epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and a dynamic gene expression profile that are reminiscent of vertebrate gastrulation that may facilitate the use of hES cells for therapeutic purposes and as in vitro models of development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thomas C. Schulz,Holly Y. Young,Alan D. Agulnick,M. Josephine Babin,Emmanuel E. Baetge,Anne G. Bang,Anindita Bhoumik,Igor Cepa,Rosemary M. Cesario,Carl Haakmeester,Kuniko Kadoya,Jonathan R.

Brandon,Chad Green,Evert Kroon,Olivia Kelly,Kevin A. D'Amour,Allan J. Robins +27 more
TL;DR: A tractable manufacturing process for the generation of functional pancreatic progenitors from hESC on a scale amenable to clinical entry is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell-surface markers for the isolation of pancreatic cell types derived from human embryonic stem cells
Olivia Kelly,Man Yin Chan,Laura Martinson,Kuniko Kadoya,Traci M Ostertag,Kelly G. Ross,Mike Richardson,Melissa K. Carpenter,Kevin A. D'Amour,Evert Kroon,Mark A. Moorman,Emmanuel E. Baetge,Anne G. Bang +12 more
TL;DR: Using a flow cytometry–based screen of commercial antibodies, cell-surface markers for the separation of pancreatic cell types derived from human embryonic stem (hES) cells are identified and will aid investigations that use pancreatic cells generated from pluripotent stem cells to study diabetes and pancreas biology.
