Abstract [en]

This chapter aims to provide a three-dimensional description of the key morphological events, through which a discrete region of the early gut epithelium, as well as its associated mesenchyme, gives rise to the adult pancreas. Facilitated by recent advances in optical imaging techniques, including light sheet fluorescence microscopy and optical projection tomography, we present image series illustrating the growth of the organ and the formation of key morphological and anatomical features. Given the close developmental relationship between the pancreas-associated mesenchyme and the spleen anlage, and thus the potential for the developing spleen to influence pancreas morphogenesis, we include a brief section which covers the early development of this organ. Finally, we describe the spatial and quantitative distribution of the pancreatic endocrine (β-cell) component in adult mice and highlight lobular heterogeneities that may affect phenotypical evaluations of the gland.
