Distinct delta and jagged genes control sequential segregation of pancreatic cell types from precursor pools in zebrafish

The different cell types of the vertebrate pancreas arise asynchronously during organogenesis. Beta-cells producing insulin, alpha-cells producing glucagon, and exocrine cells secreting digestive enzymes differentiate sequentially from a common primordium. Notch signaling has been shown to be a majo...
