Beta Cell Biology Consortium (U19): The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases invites new and the competitive continuation of applications to participate in an international consortium of investigators and institutions, the Beta Cell Biology Consortium (BCBC). The BCBC will work collaboratively to conduct research to 1) understand how endogenous beta cells are made by studying pancreatic development, with the hope of making pancreatic islets in culture, 2) explore the potential of animal and/or human stem cells (embryonic or adult; if human embryonic, only NIH-approved hES cell lines as a source for making pancreatic islets may be used), and 3) determine the basic mechanisms underlying beta cell regeneration in the adult as a basis for producing new cellular therapies for diabetes. The BCBC will be responsible for collaboratively generating necessary reagents, mouse strains, antibodies, assays, protocols, and technologies that are beyond the scope of any single research effort.
