Popis: BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder, increasing in the number of patients and poses a severe threat to human health. Significant advances have been made in DM treatment; the most important of which is differentiation and proliferation of beta cells from IPSCs. METHODS Data were collected from PUBMED at various time points up to the academic year of 2020. The related keywords are listed as follows: "Induced pluripotent stem cell", "Proliferation", "Growth factor", "Small molecule", "cardiotoxicity" and "Scaffold." RESULT The use of growth factors along with small molecules can be a good strategy for beta-cell proliferation. Also, proliferation of beta cells on nanofibers scaffolds can create a similar in vivo environment, that leads to increased function of beta-cell. Some transcription factors that cause beta cells proliferation play an important role in inflammation; so, it is essential to monitor them to prevent inflammation. CONCLUSION Finally, the simultaneous use of growth factors, micronutrients and scaffolds can be an excellent strategy to increase the proliferation and function of beta cells derived from IPSCs.
