Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs)-derived bcells are expected to be a source for cell replacement therapy of type 1 diabetes mellitus patients. Several protocols have recently described the generation of pancreatic b-cells. The latest report from the Douglas Melton laboratory, fully utilizing single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing (scRNA-seq), provides indepth knowledge of stem cell pancreatic differentiation1.Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a form of diabetes in which very little or no insulin is produced by the pancreatic b-cells. Pancreas or islet transplantation provides effective cures for maintaining normoglycemia for several years, and reduces the progression of complications. The limited number of donors, therefore, calls for alternative cells, and PSCsderived b-cells are expected to be an attractive source for cell replacement therapy of type 1 diabetes mellitus patients. Several protocols have recently been reported for the generation of pancreatic b-cells from PSCs2, 3, but to further increase differentiation efficiency and maturity, it is necessary to characterize the individual cells that appear during differentiation. To date, several groups have reported on transcriptome analysis of differentiating bulk cell populations, but no research has comprehensively determined the identity and states of all the cell types at each stage of pancreatic differentiation at a single-cell level.
