From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pancreatic Progenitor Cell new article content ... Pancreatic Progenitor Cells are multipotent stem cells originating from the developing fore-gut endoderm which have the ability to differentiate into the lineage specific progenitors responsible for the developing pancreas.

They give rise to both the endocrine and exocrine cells. Exocrine cells constitute the acinar cells and the ductal cells. The endocrine cells constitute the Beta cells which make insulin, Alpha cells which secrete glucagon, Delta cells which secrete somatostatin and the PP-cells which secrete pancreatic polypeptide.
