Therapeutic Potential of Stem Cells in Follicle Regeneration
During the development of the pancreas as well as subsequently, beta-cell apoptosis is normal, although this loss is compensated by neogenesis from preexisting beta-cells or from trans-differentiation of acinar cells (56).

In the meantime, VEGF that is secreted by tumor cells may, through the paracrine pattern, induce the neogenesis of blood vessels and lymphatic endothelial cells as well as promote the proliferation of tumor cells.15

In another attempt, Kodama et al transplanted pancreatic cell ontogeny within ESCs into the renal capsule of STZ induced diabetic mice which resulted in pancreatogenesis in situ or beta cell neogenesis. Twenty-one days post transplantation, PDX-1+ pancreatic foci appeared in the renal capsule, which expressed exocrine enzymes (amylase) and endocrine hormones (insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin).

Mature rat [beta]-cells have a life span of a few weeks and are replaced by the replication of pre-existing [beta]-cells or by the differentiation and proliferation of precursor cells present in the pancreatic ducts (Wang et al., 1995) It has been strongly suggested that during postnatal life, Pdx-1 may also be essential for the neogenesis of endocrine cells through differentiation from precursor cells that reside among the cells lining the pancreatic ducts (Bouwens and Kloppel, 1996).

Histopathologic evaluation reveals patchy, organized (lymphoid neogenesis) interstitial inflammation, intermittent interstitial fibrosis and associated parenchymal atrophy (atrophy of adnexal structures, thinning of epidermis), graft vascular disease (concentric fibrointimal hyperplasia of arteries), destruction of epithelial lined conduits, and destruction and atrophy of organ-associated lymphoid tissue and lymphatics.
