Pancreatic tissue isolated from patients with diffuse CHI shows abnormal proliferation rates, the mechanisms of which are not fully resolved. Understanding cell proliferation in CHI may lead to new therapeutic options, alongside opportunities to manipulate β-cell mass in patients with diabetes. We aimed to generate cell-lines from CHI pa ...[more]
