Chief cells – responsible for intrinsic factor, pepsinogen (Dr. P also said lipase, but pretty sure lipase is mainly coming from the pancreas)

Goblet cells – responsible for mucus

Acinar cells – digestive enzymes from the pancreas

Small Human Stomach Organoids Made From Induce Pluripotent Stem Cells

Small Human Stomach Organoids Made From Induce Pluripotent Stem Cells

A new study published in the international journal Nature describes, for the first time, the use of human pluripotent stem cells to create a three-dimensional stomach-like mini-organ. This is the beginning of what might become an unprecedented tool for examining the genesis of diseases such as stomach cancer to diabetes.
