RFX3 is essential for the generation of functional human pancreatic islets from stem cells حسب Bushra Memon (4792767)

"…The loss of <i>RFX3</i> disrupted pancreatic endocrine gene regulation, reduced the number of hormone-secreting islet cells and impaired beta cell function and insulin secretion. Despite a significant reduction in the expression levels of pancreatic islet hormones, the pan-endocrine marker chromogranin A remained unchanged at both EP and islet stages, likely due to an increase in the abundance of enterochromaffin cells (ECs). …"
