Robo signalling controls pancreatic progenitor identity by regulating Tead transcription factors

A role for Slit/Robo signalling in pancreas development has not been defined. Here, the authors generate Robo1/Robo2 knockout mice to identify both as needed for establishing initial pancreatic cell identity as well as for proliferation and survival of pancreatic progenitors.
