Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) is a pivotal step in pancreatic tumorigenesis, reversible in normal contexts but progressing to PanIN and pancreatic cancer (PC) in the presence of Kras mutation and inflammation. Thus, delineating exocrine cell heterogeneity and identifying regulators of ADM are essential for understanding pancreatic tumorigenesis. METHODS: We collected single-cell RNA sequencing...
