Expansion of insulin-producing beta-cells from adult human islets could alleviate donor shortage for cell-replacement therapy of diabetes. A major obstacle to development of effective expansion protocols is the rapid loss of beta-cell markers in the cultured cells. Here, we report a genetic cell-lineage tracing approach for following the fate of cultured beta-cells.
