Depolymerizing F-actin accelerates the exit from pluripotency to enhance stem cell-derived islet differentiation

Nathaniel J. Hogrebe, Mason D. Schmidt, Punn Augsornworawat…·Jeffrey R. Millman

The paper shows that depolymerizing F-actin with latrunculin A during early differentiation improves hPSC-derived islet maturation and function by altering signaling pathways and lineage specification.
