Consistent with our results from dissociated single-cell analyses (PMID: 37167403), progenitor-like cells accumulated within 48h of injury-induced pancreatitis, as evidenced by upregulation of MSN, HMGA2, or both proteins (Fig. S4a), as well as the tumor suppressor proteins p53 and p19ARF (Fig. S4a,b). Here, HMGA2 is linked to pancreatitis.
