Stiffness Regulates Intestinal Stem Cell Fate

2021-03-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Does fibrotic gut stiffening caused by inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) direct the fate of intestinal stem cells (ISCs)? To address this question we first developed a novel long-term culture of quasi-3D gut organoids plated on hydrogel matrix of varying stiffness. Stiffening from 0.6kPa to 9.6kPa significantly reduces Lgr5 high ISCs and Ki67 + progenitor cells while promoting their differentia...
