摘要
Thanks to their much-lauded potential in treating a variety of debilitating diseases, and their recent isolation, human embryonic stem (ES) cells' have been the focus of a great deal of attention over the past several months. And yet we are startlingly ignorant of the biology of stem cells and their differentiation; an intimate appreciation of these is required to realize therapeutic aspirations. A timely meeting* in mid-april brought together investigators with expertise in stem cell biology and developmental biology of the pancreas as a first step to harness stem cells in the treatment of diabetes.
