Abstract excerpt
The pancreas regulates metabolic homeostasis through exocrine and endocrine pathways. Dysfunction or loss of pancreatic β-cells causes diabetes. Here we explore the role of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) in the pancreas using a pancreatic-lineage specific knockout (Plk1PKO) mouse model. Plk1PKO leads to partial pancreatic agenesis, diminishing pancreatic mass. Adult Plk1PKO mice exhibit diabetic syndromes including...
