Generation of Insulin-Producing Cells from Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Comparison of Three Differentiation Protocols

Figure 5

In vitro human insulin and c-peptide release in response to glucose challenge. The differentiated cells obtained by the three studied protocols releasedincreasing amounts of insulin (a) and c-peptide (b) in response to increasing glucose concentrations ( ). The amounts of insulin and c-peptide released at different concentrations of glucose were comparable among the three experimental groups.
