A simple method of hiPSCs differentiation into insulin-producing cells is improved with vitamin C and RepSox.

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are considered a promising source of pancreatic β-cells for the treatment of diabetes. However, this approach is limited by issues such as low efficiency and high cost. Here, we have developed a new protocol to induce insulin-producing cells. To reduce c...
