Pieces of foetal rat pancreas obtained from specimens of 18–40 mm c.r. length were implanted into the anterior chamber of the mother's eye. The subsequent changes were followed using histological methods.
Acinar tissue degenerates and completely disappears during the first 2 weeks after implantation. Duct epithelium proliferates and large numbers of islets of Langerhans are produced which contain both α and β cells. In grafts of 1 year's duration islets form the main bulk of the graft. Methods of staining the islet tissue of the rat are discussed.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
