However, there was a high profile paper from the McMahon lab, published two years ago in Cell, claiming that if all three epsin genes were knocked down by siRNA in HeLa, BSC1, or RPE1 cells, clathrin-mediated endocytosis was effectively abolished: the phenotype was as severe as when clathrin or AP-2 were knocked down.
The fact that ductal cells can respond to exogenous transcription factors does not directly demonstrate that these cells have latent potential to form beta cells, as claimed in the Abstract.
Endothelial progenitor cells were claimed to home toward growing vessels and change their phenotype into endothelial, smooth muscle and even to cardiac muscle cells [ 80, 140].
