Tightly controlled NGN3 expression is essential for endocrine cell generation in the developing pancreas, with dysregulation leading to hyperglycemia in mice. Here they identify USP7 as a key post-translational regulator of NGN3 stability and show that this axis is required for endocrine development and beta-cell differentiation.
