[主題詞] APUD Cells
[英文釋義] Cells derived from primitive cell types in the neural crest. During ontogeny they migrate to the foregut and specific locations of the neuroendocrine system. Properly located these cells form part of the normal hormone producing tissues of the neuroendocrine system. If misdirected these cells may become hyperplastic,adenomatous,or malignant (cf. APUDOMA).
