DNA Methylation Analysis Validates Organoids as a Viable Model for Studying Human Intestinal Aging
2 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The epithelia of the intestine and colon turn over rapidly and are maintained by adult stem cells at the base of crypts. Although the small intestine and colon have distinct, well-characterized physiological functions, it remains unclear if there are fundamental regional differences in stem cell behavior or region-dependent degenerative changes during aging. Mesenchyme-free organoids provide...
