Abstract
The study of the embryonic development of the pancreas gives the opportunity to understand the mechanisms of organ regeneration in case of various pathologies. Worldwide research works, studying histo- and organogenesis of human pancreas, are based on data, received from model animals. Numerous processes of pancreatic development take several hours and remain unclear because white laboratory mouse has short gestation period. Spiny mouse (Acomys) has the prolonged prenatal period and can be a convenient model to study the stages of histo- and organogenesis of the pancreas. The review analyzed similarities and differences in the structure of human pancreas, white laboratory mouse and spiny mouse, the features of prenatal histo- and organogenesis of the pancreas, which should be considered in conducting and interpreting results of fundamental research, and possibility of using of spiny mice as a model animal to study embryonic development and pathology of the pancreas.
