Beta Cell Cluster After Enrichment Process

Caption

In 2014, Douglas Melton's laboratory at Harvard University pioneered a method to convert stem cells to insulin-producing beta cells. Researchers in the lab have now improved the method to enrich the final mixture for beta cells. After the two-step enrichment process, cell clusters show more beta cells (in pink).
