Development of the islets of langerhans in man

Abstract

VERY little has been published about the differentiation of the α and β cells in the development of the pancreatic islets in man. The only work since the introduction of the modern granule stains is that of Ferner and Stoeckenius1 (based on twelve fœtal pancreases), and Schultze Jena2 (based on six fœtal). © 1961 Nature Publishing Group.
