FIG. 1. Neogenesis in mouse pancreas. A: The metaplastic ducts seen in the zinc-treated
metallothionen. TGF-transgenic mice have 6% insulin (red, white arrows) cells and some
amylase (green, yellow arrow) cells. Tissue from study reported in (37); the background in
the red channel was enhanced to see the context of the ducts. Magnification bar 100 m. B:
After partial (70–80%) pancreatectomy in adult mice, insulin (blue) cells “budding” from
proliferating ductules labeled with E-cadherin (red) are found in well-defined areas termed …

B: After partial (70–80%) pancreatectomy in adult mice, insulin (blue) cells “budding” from proliferating ductules labeled with E-cadherin (red) are found in well-defined areas termed foci of regeneration that further differentiate into new lobes of pancreas (40). Magnification bar 50 m.(A high-quality digital representation of this figure is available in the online issue.)
