Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be derived from human beta-cells undergoing reversible epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), suggesting that they could be a potential source of new beta-cells. In this study we sought to determine the origin of pancreatic MSCs in the nonendocrine pancreas. Double immunofluorescent (IF) staining and flow cytometry were used to assess the cell phenotype of...
