Abstract excerpt
Wnt/beta-catenin signalling plays a key role in the homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium. Whereas its role in the maintenance of the stem cell compartment has been clearly demonstrated, its role in the Paneth cell fate remains unclear. We performed genetic studies to elucidate the functions of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in Paneth cell differentiation. We analysed mice with inducible gain-of-function...
