Mesenchyme-derived IGF2 is a major paracrine regulator of pancreatic growth and function.

Mesenchyme-derived IGF2 is a major paracrine regulator of pancreatic growth and function.

The genetic mechanisms that determine the size of the adult pancreas are poorly understood. Imprinted genes, which are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner, are known to have important roles in development, growth and metabolism. However, our knowledge regarding their roles in the control...
