Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX1) is a crucial gene for pancreas development during the fetal period. PDX1-modified pigs have the potential to be used as a model of diabetes mellitus. However, the severe health problems caused by the PDX1 mutation limit phenotypic studies of PDX1-modified pigs as diabetes models. In this study, we generated PDX1-modified pigs by the CRISPR/Cas9 system introduced into zygotes...
