Pancreatic metaplastic cells are precursors of malignant cells that give rise to pancreatic tumors. However, isolating intact viable pancreatic cells is challenging. Here, we present an efficient method for pancreatic tissue dissociation. The cells can then be used for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) or for two- or three-dimensional co-culturing.
