A LGR5 reporter pig model closely resembles human intestine for improved study of stem cells in disease
9 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Intestinal epithelial stem cells (ISCs) are responsible for intestinal epithelial barrier renewal; thereby, ISCs play a critical role in intestinal pathophysiology research. While transgenic ISC reporter mice are available, advanced translational studies lack a large animal model. This study validates ISC isolation in a new porcine Leucine Rich Repeat Containing G Protein‐Coupled Receptor 5 (LGR5)...
