WebThis cell type, the pancreatic stellate cell (PSC, so called because of its star-like appearance in situ) was first reported by Watari ( Watari et al., 1982) in 1982 using electron microscopy of rodent and human pancreas. … WebIn normal pancreas, pancreatic β cells expressed GLP-1R, with only low expression in acinar cells, whereas in AP or CP, acinar cells, ductal cells and activated PSCs expressed GLP-1R. With activation of normal PSCs, GLP-1R is markedly increased, as is multiple other incretin-related receptors.
