Fig. 8From: Development of islet organoids from human induced pluripotent stem cells in a cross-linked collagen scaffoldqPCR analysis of islet specific genes in collagen, GACO and matrigel in comparison to M1. PDX1, Insulin, PPY and glucagon expression was seen in GACO and matrigel. Collagen entrapped cells did not show detectable levels of any gene expression. Insulin was higher in GACO gels. Expression of markers in the organoids is significantly higher as compared to stage P3 cellsBack to article page
