Researchers at WashU Medicine found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine prevents allergic responses to food, suggesting that targeting such cells therapeutically could ...

which are thought to make up the intestinal stem cell niche. Remarkably, their culture conditions can also be used to promote long-term growth of intestinal epithelium beginning from just a single ...

In a recent study, FMI researchers have shed light on how intestinal organoids form crypts, the pockets that house stem cells for gut regeneration and long-term stability. Their findings may have ...

we study the communication between stem cells and their niche (e.g. neighbor cells, ECM) in multiple tissues including the intestine, mammary, skeletal muscle, and the hematopoietic system. Pekka is a ...
