Fig. 7From: Alginate/Pluronic F127-based encapsulation supports viability and functionality of human dental pulp stem cell-derived insulin-producing cellsPancreatic gene expression analysis of encapsulated hDPSC- derrived IPCs using ALG and ALGPA. The mRNA expression of pancreatic endoderm marker (NGN3) a, pancreatic islet markers (NKX 6.1, MAFA, ISL-1, GLUT-2 and INSULIN) b and pancreatic related markers (GLP-1R and GLUCAGON) c by ALG- and ALGPA-encapsulated hDPSC-derived IPCs were determined by RT-qPCR at day 7 and 14 post encapsulation. The asterisks indicated significant difference, comparing with undifferentiated cell (p < 0.05)Back to article page
