Besides producing insulin , the transformed exocrine cells looked like beta cells and ceased making proteins typical of exocrine cells .

经过改造的外分泌细胞除了生成胰岛素外，看起来很像beta细胞，并且停止制造典型的外分泌细胞蛋白。

They hitched the genes for these three factors onto a virus that infects another type of pancreatic cell , known as an exocrine cell .

他们把这三组因子的基因搭载到一种病毒上，再用病毒感染被称作外分泌细胞的另一种类型的胰腺细胞。

They converted some of the exocrine cells into beta cells by introducing just three transcription factors molecules that switch genes on and off as cells develop .

通过注入三种转录因子（随着细胞发育，转换基因表达与否的分子），研究人员将一些外分泌细胞转化成β细胞。

In the experimental mice , the researchers targeted exocrine cells , which make up 95 per cent of the pancreas and turn out an array of digestive enzymes .

研究人员的实验对象是实验鼠体内的外分泌细胞，它们生成95%的胰岛素，并产生大量消化酶。
