Rapid expansion of intestinal secretory lineages following a massive small bowel resection in mice

Abstract excerpt

Following massive small bowel resection (SBR) in mice, there are sustained increases in crypt depth and villus height, resulting in enhanced mucosal surface area. The early mechanisms responsible for resetting and sustaining this increase are presently not understood. We hypothesized that expansion of secretory lineages is an early and sustained component of the adaptive response. This was assessed in the ileum...
