[Actual problems of biology of pancreatic acino-insular cells]
Abstract
Acino-insular cells are a distinct type of pancreatic cells sharing structural and functional features of both acinar and islet cells. They synthesize and secrete digestive enzymes and hormones. Novel concepts of the functional role of acino-insular cells and prospects for their further investigation are reviewed.
