Pax genes and the differentiation of hormone-producing endocrine cells in the pancreas.

Abstract excerpt

Despite the pivotal role of the pancreas in hormonally-regulated pathways in the body, e.g. glucose homeostasis, the genetic mechanisms defining it have for many years remained largely enigmatic. After years out of the spotlight, pancreas development has once again come to centre stage. To a large extent, this is due to recent advances made through the detailed analysis of transgenic mice which have been...
