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 ...

Nearly everyone with prostate cancer has this type. Ductal adenocarcinoma starts in the cells that line the tubes (ducts) of the prostate gland. It tends to grow and spread more quickly than acinar ...

Not only did the cells differentiate into acinar cells, but mRNA-seq data also revealed an uptick in genes related to the functions of this particular cell type, including an increase in digestive ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic "marks" in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may ...

This transformation helps acinar cells protect themselves from damage ... They had earlier shown the same type of epigenetic changes in these genes in human pancreatic precancers termed PanINs ...
