Fluorescence-activated cell sorting purification of pancreatic progenitor cells.
Here we review progress on isolation and characterization of progenitor cells in the pancreas. We discuss advantages and current limitations of experiments with purified pancreatic cells, and areas where future growth in our understanding is needed to advance experiments in pancreas biology based on cell purification.
