Figure 2 Endothelial-derived signals maintain expression of PDX-1 and promote pancreatic endocrine differentiation.
Once the aorta is forming, aortic ECs (AECs) interact closely with FG/DE cells that maintain expression of PDX-1 and form the dorsal pancreatic bud (DPB). ECs: Endothelial cells; DE: Definitive endoderm; FG: Foregut; PDX: Pancreatic and duodenal homeobox.
