A Luminal-Basal Stratification of the Native Human Pancreatic Duct is Differentially Represented in Pancreatic Cancers

Jan-Lars Van den Bossche, Melissa Van der Vliet, Ellis Michiels…·Ilse Rooman

This study identifies spatially distinct cell populations in human pancreatic ducts and shows that ASCP better preserves native cell identities compared to PDAC.

ΔNP63 defines an exocrine-committed multipotent progenitor subset in the murine pancreas

Katarina Coolens, Melissa Van der Vliet, Jente Van Campenhout…·Ilse Rooman

This study identifies ΔNP63 as a marker for exocrine-committed multipotent progenitors in the murine pancreas, showing its role in exocrine development and differentiation.

A single-cell atlas of the murine pancreatic ductal tree identifies novel cell populations with potential implications in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.

Ángel Fernández, Joan Casamitjana, Adrián Holguín-Horcajo…·Meritxell Rovira

This study identifies 15 novel ductal cell populations in the mouse pancreas using scRNA-seq and investigates their roles in regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.
