Title:
BONE MARROW CELL DIFFERENTIATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004035761
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Bone marrow cells are induced to differentiate into pancreatic hormone-producing cells in vitro and to repopulate a pancreas in vivo. These insulin-producing cells can be used to regenerate a damaged pancreas and reverse hyperglycemia in mammals.
