A Small Molecule Swertisin from <i>Enicostemma littorale</i> Differentiates NIH3T3 Cells into Islet-Like Clusters and Restores Normoglycemia upon Transplantation in Diabetic Balb/c Mice

<table>Schematic representation of event occurring in swertisin-induced ILCC formation.  (a) represents basic fibroblastic morphology of NIH3T3 cells cultured in complete medium. (b)–(d) depicts event occurring during swertisin-induced differentiation process from the 3rd day to  the 8th day. (e) represents DTZ staining in differentiated ILCC for primary confirmation of beta cell differentiation.</table>
