Abstract

Change history: In this Insight Review, '1989' has been changed to '1998' in the sentence "This deep understanding of pancreatic development was put to the service of regenerative medicine in 1998, when human embryonic stem cells (hES cells) were successfully cultured and opened the door to developing methods of deriving pancreatic islets from hES cells66.". This error has been corrected online.
