Figure 2 Pancreatic organogenesis and cell differentiation.
The pancreatic bud arises from the endoderm foregut. During early branching morphogenesis, the branch tip is composed of multipotent progenitor cells that change into acinar cells. The trunk region is composed of bipotential progenitor cells that can differentiate into either duct or endocrine cells. As differentiation continues, the expression of PTF1A, NR5A2, and MIST1 is restricted in acinar cells.
