Preservation of Human Colonic Stem Cells Requires an ERK Dynamics Checkpoint Mediated by AKT
2026-04-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Colonic stem cells reside in a microenvironment enriched in epidermal growth factor, which is essential for their survival and can activate both PI3K-AKT and MAPK-ERK pathways. This predicts co-activation of both pathways within the growth factor-high stem cell compartment at the base of crypts. However, in patient-derived human colonic organoids and normal human tissue, stem cells maintain robu...
