Pancreatic Progenitor Cells

Embryonic Index: Pnc.VPB.PncPCs

The pancreatic progenitor cells are the common ancestor of all the pancreatic cell types including the duct, exocrine and endocrine cells. The progenitors of the ventral pancreatic bud will give rise to the cells of the anatomical compartments that develop from the ventral bud (head of pancreas and the main duct).
