Grand Rounds 2018: “Using Stem Cells for Autologous Beta Cell Replacement: First Steps toward Clinical Advances”

 

At the end of this CME activity participants should be able to:

  1. How enteric anendocrinosis can lead to loss of insulin secretion

  2. How stem cells can be used to make autologous beta cells capable of secreting insulin

  3. What are some of the obstacles present in advancing this approach from the bench to the clinic
