Pancreatic cells can reach the pancreas after transplantation via the placenta, mouse experiments reveal

Pancreatic cells can reach the pancreas after transplantation via the placenta, according to a new study on mice.

The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that pancreatic progenitor cells injected into the placenta of pregnant mice were delivered to the pancreas of the developing fetus.

This method could potentially be used to treat pancreatic diseases in the future, but more research is needed.
