Abstract
The existence of an endocrine progenitor in the adult mouse pancreas has been controversial. Recently in Cell, Wang et al. (2020) use the cell-surface marker Procr to define a population of cells within the adult islet of Langerhans that is capable of generating all endocrine cells and is amenable to in vitro expansion.
