Human gastrointestinal epithelia of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum resolved at single-cell resolution
1 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
The upper gastrointestinal tract, consisting of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, controls food transport, digestion, nutrient uptake, and hormone production. By single-cell analysis of healthy epithelia of these human organs, we molecularly define their distinct cell types. We identify a quiescent COL17A1 high KRT15 high stem/progenitor cell population in the most basal cell layer of the esophagus and detect...
