LA Crawford, MA Guney, YA Oh, RA DeYoung, … - Molecular …, 2009 - Endocrine Soc The factors necessary for normal pancreatic islet morphogenesis have not been well
characterized. Here we report that connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is involved in the establishment
of normal islet endocrine cell ratio and architecture. CTGF is a secreted protein known to ... Cited by 2 - Related articles - All 3 versions
