CENP-A, a protein required for chromosome segregation in mitosis, declines with age in islet but not exocrine cells

Beta-cell replication dramatically declines with age. Here, we report that the level of CENP-A, a protein required for cell division, declines precipitously with age in an islet-specific manner. CENP-A is essentially undetectable after age 29 in humans. However, exocrine cells retain CENP-A expressi...
