Abstract excerpt
The pancreas is derived from a pool of multipotent progenitor cells (MPCs) that co-express Pdx-1 and Ptf1a. To more precisely define how the individual and combined loss of Pdx-1 and Ptf1a affects pancreatic MPC specification and differentiation we derived and studied mice bearing a novel Ptf1a(YFP) allele. While the expression of Pdx-1 and Ptf1a in pancreatic MPCs coincides between E9.5 and 12.5 the...
