Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic exocrine and endocrine lineages arise from multipotent pancreatic progenitor cells (MPCs). Exploiting the mechanisms that govern expansion and differentiation of these cells could enhance efforts to generate β-cells from stem cells. Although our prior work indicates that the canonical Wnt signaling component β-catenin is required qualitatively for exocrine acinar but not endocrine development,...
