Paneth cell metaplasia (PCM), long viewed as a consequence of chronic inflammation in ulcerative colitis, may also help ...
Paneth cells are highly specialised secretory epithelial cells located at the base of the crypts of Lieberkühn in the small intestine. They play a central role in innate mucosal defence by releasing a ...
Top: Intestinal stem cells lacking Daam1 (left) or Rnf43 (right) form tumor-like organoids. Bottom: Intestines lacking Daam1 do not form ectopic Paneth cells, a type of secretory cells (left), while ...
Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators have for the first time created human intestinal organoids that include functional Paneth cells, a specialized cell type that is found in the ...
These results suggest that the regional program of AMPs is possibly due to specific environmental signals enriched in the ileum on various lineage cells, rather than the lineage-specific effect by ...
Representative 3d rendering of the longitudinal view of one crypt of SAMR1 mouse. the epithelial layer of the crypt has been rendered in green. the Paneth cells are colored in yellow and the goblet ...
The different cell types of the human gut develop from stem cells through a process of differentiation. Researchers from the Organoid group (Hubrecht Institute), together with researchers at the ...
Stem cells can differentiate to replace dead and damaged cells. But how do stem cells decide which type of cell to become in a given situation? Using intestinal organoids, scientists identified a new ...
