Abstract

Getting mature and functional stem cell-derived, insulin-producing β cells is an important step for disease modeling, drug screening, and cell replacement therapy. In this issue, Hua et al.<sup>1</sup> used single-cell multiomics analysis coupled with chemical screening to identify a crucial role for ceramides in generating mature stem cell-derived β cells.
