Macrophages are essential for CTGF-mediated adult β-cell proliferation after injury

OBJECTIVE: Promotion of endogenous β-cell mass expansion could facilitate regeneration in patients with diabetes. We discovered that the secreted protein CTGF (aka CCN2) promotes adult β-cell replication and mass regeneration after injury via increasing β-cell immaturity and shortening the replicati...
