摘要
Although pancreatic islet transplantation can restore normal β-cell function to patients with diabetes, success is limited by tissue availability. An alternative strategy is to stimulate development of the patients' own β cells; however, the postnatal origin of new β cells remains controversial. This Viewpoint proposes that progenitor cells could exist in the pancreatic ducts.
