observed two distinct populations of alpha-cells with similar proglucagon expression but differential expression of proliferation-associated genes (e.g., TOP2A , MKI67 , CENPF , BIRC5 , and CDK1 ), suggesting that one of these subpopulations, albeit the smaller subpopulation, of alpha-cells may constitute proliferating alpha-cells (71)
