Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The generation of acinar and ductal cells from human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) is a poorly studied process, although various diseases arise from this compartment. DESIGN: We designed a straightforward approach to direct human PSCs towards pancreatic organoids resembling acinar and ductal progeny. RESULTS: Extensive phenotyping of the organoids not only shows the appropriate marker profile but also...
