Hereditary pancreatitis model by blastocyst complementation in mouse (Oncotarget, 2020, in press).
In the international collaboration with Unitech Co., Ltd., Asai et al. established the mouse model by the blastocyst complementation (BC) method, which mimics to human hereditary pancreatitis, and showed that the BC method was useful for the reproduction and study of pancreatic disorders. The present study opens the possibility of investigating uncharacterized human diseases by utilizing the BC method.
