Summary:
A team of researchers reports that by applying a sequence of chemicals to human embryonic stem cells in a culture dish, it has grown layers of cells similar to pancreatic tissue in a young embryo. Such cells may eventually be suitable for treating diabetes.
Commentary: Maybe this new method of manipulating stem cells will lead to the development of effective treatments for diabetes.
