In vivo gene expression profiling of human intestinal epithelial cells: analysis by laser microdissection of formalin fixed tissues
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The small intestinal epithelium mediates vital functions of nutrient absorption and host defense. The spatial organization of the epithelial cells along the crypt-villus axis segregates them into regions of specialized function. However, the differences in transcriptional programming and the molecular machinery that governs the migration, adhesion, and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cell...
