This process, termed acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM), is an important feature facilitating pancreas regeneration after injury. Data from animal models show that cells that undergo ADM in ...

and some mature acinar cells can transdifferentiate into ductal cells. To determine whether the organoid followed the same developmental patterns as the actual pancreas, the researchers tagged two ...

Pioneering research shows that acinar cells in the pancreas form new cell types to mitigate injury but are then susceptible to cancerous mutations. Pioneering research from scientists at the ...

A perioperative tru-cut biopsy was taken and triple bypass was done. Subsequently the biopsy suggested pancreatic acinar cell cancer and his serum lipase was elevated to 4 times normal.

Scientists have known that, when the pancreas becomes inflamed, acinar cells, which produce digestive enzymes, begin to transform into ductal cells, which transport digestive juices in the pancreas.

This organoid contains the three main types of pancreas cells: acinar cells, ductal cells, and endocrine cells. Each of these cells plays a vital role. Acinar cells release enzymes that help break ...

The pancreas is home to two main cell types with distinct functions: beta cells that release insulin to control blood sugar levels and acinar cells that produce digestive juices. Evans and his ...

This type of pancreatic cancer begins in acinar cells, which are a type of exocrine cell. It accounts for only 1 –2% of pancreatic cancers and has no standard treatment. It is associated with ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — What makes pancreatic cancer so deadly is its covert and quick spread. Now, a “time machine” built by Purdue University engineers has shown a way to reverse the course of cancer ...

That fat can migrate and build up between pancreatic lobules. Fat also can accumulate inside the lobes. This process can involve a buildup of fat droplets in acinar and stellate cells on the ...
