Cell sources for in vivo generation of β cells in zebrafish. Cells in the extrapancreatic duct linking the pancreas to the gut (EPD) differentiate into endocrine progenitor cells that form the ventrally derived β cells in the principal islet. Centroacinar cells (CACs) are a specialized ductal pancreatic cell type that differentiates into progenitors of acinar, ductal, and endocrine cells. Under certain conditions, new β cells can be generated through transdifferentiation, neogenesis and proliferation
