| 释义 | APUD hypothesisAPUD hypothesisThe hypothesis that cells of the nervous system and cells that produce peptide hormones (APUD cells) might have a common embryonic origin and that the progenitors migrate to the gastrointestinal tract and the endocrine organs where they differentiate. This idea has been shown to be of only limited application, causing the originator, Professor Anthony Pearse (1916–2003) to suggest that the acronym should stand for ‘Anthony Pearse's Ultimate Delusion’. See also APUD CELL TUMOUR. |
