Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods related to differentiation of stem cells into pancreatic islet cells. In some aspects, the methods provided herein relate to generation of pancreatic ? cell, ? cell, ? cells, and EC cells in vitro. In some aspects, the disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions including the cells generated according to the methods disclosed herein, as well as methods of treatment making use thereof.

Abstract: The systems and methods provided herein relate generally to the prevention of migration of condensate in a condensation particle counter between components designed to handle condensate (e.g. saturator, condenser, condensate reservoir) and components which may be damaged by the condensate (e.g. detection and flow control devices).

Abstract: A child seat attachment that can be releasably attached to a child seat handle side bar having a narrow portion and a wider portion using one hand, and removed with one hand. The child seat attachment provides visual, audible, and/or tactile stimulation for the child. The child seat attachment includes a bracket portion and a child amusement device coupled to the bracket portion. The coupling between the bracket portion and the child amusement device may be releasable, extendable, and/or articulatible. The bracket portion includes a panel coupled to a pair of opposed, spaced apart wings that may include multiple webs, including arcuate webs. The wings are spaced apart a distance greater than the width of the narrow portion of the child seat handle side bar and less than the width of the wider portion of the child seat handle side bar.

Abstract: A method of changing the activity of hexokinases in a plant sink comprising introducing into the plant a gene encoding a fungal hexokinase. In the method, the gene is expressed in the plant seed tissue to produce the protein, thereby changing characteristics of hexokinase activity in the seed of the plant.

Abstract: The invention is directed to transgenic plants transformed with nucleic acids that encode a plant transcription factor that increases the transgenic plant's size and yield and/or delays flowering in the plant, and methods of using and producing the transgenic plants.
