Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n CFAP126, also known as Flattop or Fltp, is a Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) effector that functions primarily as a biomarker to distinguish distinct subpopulations of pancreatic endocrine cells. Specifically, its expression demarcates a shift in β‐cell identity: cells lacking CFAP126 are largely proliferation‐competent and immature, whereas cells that express CFAP126 are more mature and display a polarized, three‐dimensional architecture that is characteristic of functional islet mini‐organs. In this context, CFAP126 levels increase as endocrine cells cluster and mature under the influence of specific 3D-organizing cues and Wnt/PCP ligand signals. Although its induction is a marker of β‐cell maturation and heterogeneity, CFAP126 is not required per se for β‐cell development, proliferation, or maturation. Instead, it provides critical insight into the dynamics of endocrine cell plasticity and the functional stratification of β cells—a concept that may have future therapeutic implications for strategies aimed at regenerating functional β‐cell mass in diabetes."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Erik Bader, Adriana Migliorini, Moritz Gegg, et al.
