Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The ability to expand organ-specific stem/progenitor cells is critical for translational applications, although uncertainties often arise in identifying the lineage of expanded cells. Therefore, superior insights into lineage maintenance mechanisms will be helpful for cell/gene therapy. METHODS: We studied epithelial cells isolated from fetal human pancreas to assess their proliferation potential,...
