New paper! We developed an approach to perform scRNA-seq on islets from #stemcells after txp. We found the islets cured #diabetes & matured to very closely resemble real donor islets! Congrats to @WashUBME PhD co-1st authors @punnaug & @KristinaGMaxwel 1/n cell.com/cell-reports/f… STORY TIME: This project concept has been a fantasy of mine since I was a graduate student, but the technology to do it robustly was simply not there until recently. Even then, we first performed the transplantations for this study in 2018, because of the extended timescales. 2/n
