SETD4-expressing cells contribute to pancreatic development and response to cerulein induced pancreatitis injury

Abstract In the adult pancreas, the presence of progenitor or stem cells and their potential involvement in homeostasis and regeneration remains unclear. Here, we identify that SET domain-containing protein 4 (SETD4), a histone lysine methyltransferase, is expressed in a small cell population in the...
