Researches at the Manchester and Sheffield Universities have been able to identify the techniques to turn embryonic stem cells into insulin-producing pancreatic tissue .研究在曼徹斯特和謝菲爾德大學已經能夠識別技術，把胚胎幹細胞分化為胰島素生產胰腺組織 。 They will now be able to manipulate the stem cell to produce ‘transcription factor’, a protein necessary for treatment.現在他們將能夠操縱幹細胞產生'轉錄因子' ，一種蛋白質必要的治療。

The number of embryonic stem cells, able to produce insulin-producing pancreatic cells, were very few in number.有多少胚胎幹細胞，能夠產生胰島素的胰腺細胞產生，很少在號碼。 The challenge now is to find a way to produce greater number of insulin producing stem cells economically.現在的挑戰是找到一種方法，產生更大的數目，胰島素生產幹細胞的經濟。

Embryonic stem cells have the capacity to transform to any types of cells which promises treatment of deadly diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and lot of other diseases.胚胎幹細胞有能力轉化為任何類型的細胞，其中的承諾，治療致命的疾病，例如阿爾茨海默氏症，帕金森氏和很多其他疾病。

Researchers have found that the transcription factor PAX4 can transform embryonic stem cells to the insulin producing pancreatic beta cells, when transplanted into human body.研究人員發現，轉錄因子pax4可以改造的胚胎幹細胞向胰島素產生胰島β細胞，當移植到人體。

The team believes that the functional beta cells, if transplanted into the human body, can be a good solution for the type 2 diabetes.小組認為， β細胞的功能，如果移植到人體，可以是一個很好的解決方案為2型糖尿病。 The cells produced by the team, resemble fetal pancreatic cells rather than adult tissue.細胞所產生的團隊，類似於胎兒的胰腺細胞，而非成年組織。 The study, published in the Journal Public Library of Science, was funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Medical Research Council.該研究結果發表在雜誌上公共圖書館的科學，資金由青少年糖尿病研究基金會和醫學研究理事會。
