SCFAs switch stem cell fate through HDAC inhibition to improve barrier integrity in 3D intestinal organoids from patients with obesity
23 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
Stem cells are a keystone of intestinal homeostasis, but their function could be shifted during energy imbalance or by crosstalk with microbial metabolites in the stem cell niche. This study reports the effect of obesity and microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) on intestinal stem cell (ISC) fate in human crypt-derived intestinal organoids (enteroids). ISC fate decision was impaired in obesity,...
