New beta cells are formed both by duplication of pre-existing cells and by new differentiation (neogenesis) across the first postnatal weeks, with the result of beta cells of different stages of maturation even after weaning. Improving our understanding of this period of beta cell expansion could provide valuable therapeutic insights.en-USBeta cellsneogenesispostnatal growthJournal Article2016-07-1410.3109/03009734.2016.1154906
