Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are conditions that are associated with the loss of\ninsulin-producing ... cells within the pancreas. An active research therefore aims at regenerating\nthese ... cells with the hope that they could restore euglycemia. The approaches classically used\nconsist in mimicking embryonic development, making use of diverse cell sources or converting\npre-existing pancreatic cells. Despite impressive progresses and promising successes, it appears that\nwe still need to gain further insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying ... cell development.\nThis becomes even more obvious with the emergence of a relatively new field of research, epigenetics.\nThe current review therefore focuses on the latest advances in this field in the context of ... cell\n(neo-)genesis research.
