“…In this study, we aimed to elucidate the developmental mechanisms of pancreatic exocrine acinar lineages to establish a directed differentiation method for pancreatic acinar cells from hiPSCs. hiPSC-derived pancreatic endoderm cells were spontaneously differentiated into both pancreatic exocrine and endocrine tissues by implantation into the renal subcapsular space of NOD/SCID mice. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of the retrieved grafts confirmed the differentiation of pancreatic acinar lineage cells and identified REG4 as a candidate marker for pancreatic acinar progenitor cells. …”
