title: Recent advances in pancreas development: from embryonic pathways to programming renewable sources of beta cells.
abstract: In recent years, there has been significant progress in understanding the detailed mechanisms of pancreas development. These studies have in turn influenced research aimed at producing pancreatic islet cells from stem cells. Here, we review recent progress in both of these areas.
