Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Huang et al. (2021) and Breunig et al. (2021) developed human stem-cell-derived organoid culture systems to recapitulate pancreatic acinar and ductal lineages. This provides opportunities to study cellular plasticity and transformation in pancreatic cancer initiation and progression.
