acinar adjective anatomy specializeduk /ˈæs.ɪ.nɑːr/ us /ˈæs.ə.nɑːr/ relating to an acinus(= a small bag-shaped structure at the end of a gland): This is passed round the blood stream and targets the pancreas, and in particular, the acinar cells. The pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas did not affect survival, did not metastasize, and were not locally invasive. The glands were teased out separately and spread so that the acinar cells were not overlying each other. The acinar diameter also steadily declined with age, but less sharply.
