Cell replacement therapy is a hopeful strategy for diabetes treatment, whereas lack of pancreas donors leads this strategy to a dilemma. Here, we demonstrate that Trop2 is a useful marker to enrich the progenitors with a long-term organoid formation capability from extrahepatic bile ducts in both mouse and human. Based on BMP7 initiation, the Trop2-positive mouse extrahepatic bile duct organoids (mBDOs) could be induced to produce 8.49 {+/-} 0.45% of insulin-secreting cells. We further screened out a chemical small molecule TLY142, which significantly increased the proportion of insulin-secreting cells to 19.9 {+/-} 0.62% and 25.50 {+/-} 4.82% in induced mouse and human extrahepatic bile duct organoids (hBDOs) in vitro, and transplantation of these differentiated organoids into STZ-induced diabetic nude mice remarkably improved their blood glucose and enhanced glucose sensitivity. This study provides a novel strategy that using small molecules promotes biliary duct organoids differentiation into {beta} cells to cure diabetes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
