| Using transgenic and gene knockout mice and in vitro differentiation assays, the German lab is beginning to outline the hierarchy of these factors during beta-cell development, and to identify their individual roles in beta-cell formation and differentiation. |
| Beta-cell gene expression: A long-term interest of the German lab has been the mechanism by which the transcription of certain genes (most notably the insulin gene) is restricted to the beta-cells, and how that expression is regulated by nutrient cues, such as glucose concentration. |
