Besides producing insulin , the transformed exocrine cells looked like beta cells and ceased making proteins typical of exocrine cells .
经过改造的外分泌细胞除了生成胰岛素外,看起来很像beta细胞,并且停止制造典型的外分泌细胞蛋白。
They hitched the genes for these three factors onto a virus that infects another type of pancreatic cell , known as an exocrine cell .
他们把这三组因子的基因搭载到一种病毒上,再用病毒感染被称作外分泌细胞的另一种类型的胰腺细胞。
They converted some of the exocrine cells into beta cells by introducing just three transcription factors molecules that switch genes on and off as cells develop .
In the experimental mice , the researchers targeted exocrine cells , which make up 95 per cent of the pancreas and turn out an array of digestive enzymes .
