Regulator Growth Plasticity of the Adult Pancreas: Mechanisms and Implications

Kenji Ikezawa*

The adult pancreas, an important organ involved in digestion and glucose regulation, has traditionally been considered limited in its capacity for regeneration and plasticity. However, recent research has revealed that the pancreas possesses a remarkable ability to adapt and remodel in response to various physiological and pathological conditions. This phenomenon, known as pancreatic growth plasticity, refers to the organ's capacity to alter its structure and function in response to stress, injury, or metabolic demands. This article explores the mechanisms underlying pancreatic growth plasticity, its regulatory pathways, and its implications for health and disease.
