Abstract excerpt
The spatial orientation of the enteroendocrine cells along the crypt-villus axis is closely associated with their differentiation in the intestine. Here we studied this relationship using primary duodenal crypts and an ex vivo organoid system established from cholecystokinin-green fluorescent protein (CCK-GFP) transgenic mice. In the primary duodenal crypts, GFP+ cells were found not only in the upper crypt but...
