Researchers at the Hubrecht Institute have successfully created a new organoid that replicates the human fetal pancreas, containing all three key cell types found in the pancreas. This breakthrough allows for a more comprehensive understanding of pancreas development and function, potentially leading to new treatments for pancreatic diseases in the future. The organoid includes acinar cells, ductal cells, and endocrine cells, each serving a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. By studying these organoids, researchers have gained valuable insights into human pancreatic development that were not observable in previous studies with mice. [Extracted from the article] |
