Aldh1b1 expression defines progenitor cells in the adult pancreas and is required for Kras-induced pancreatic cancer
23 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
The presence of progenitor or stem cells in the adult pancreas and their potential involvement in homeostasis and cancer development remain unresolved issues. Here, we show that mouse centroacinar cells can be identified and isolated by virtue of the mitochondrial enzyme Aldh1b1 that they uniquely express. These cells are necessary and sufficient for the formation of self-renewing adult pancreatic organoids in an...
