Journal ArticleDOI

Frizzled proteins are colonic epithelial receptors for C. difficile toxin B

TL;DR: FZDs are established as physiologically relevant receptors for TcdB in the colonic epithelium by carrying out CRISPR–Cas9-mediated genome-wide screens and identifying the members of the Wnt receptor frizzled family (FzDs) as TCDB receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of mTert-GFP mice as a model to identify and study tissue progenitor cells

TL;DR: Together, these data provide direct evidence that mTert-GFP expression marks progenitor cells in blood and small intestine, validating these mice as a useful tool for the prospective identification, isolation, and functional characterization of progenitors/stem cells from multiple tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Colon-on-a-Chip Enables Continuous In Vitro Analysis of Colon Mucus Layer Accumulation and Physiology.

TL;DR: This study shows the production of colonic mucus with a physiologically relevant bilayer structure in vitro, which can be analyzed in real time noninvasively and may offer a new preclinical tool to analyze the role of mucus in human intestinal homeostasis as well as diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reprogrammed Stomach Tissue as a Renewable Source of Functional β Cells for Blood Glucose Regulation

TL;DR: It is shown that cells of the antral stomach have a previously unappreciated propensity for conversion into functional insulin-secreting cells, highlighting the potential for development of engineered stomach tissues as a renewable source of functional β cells for glycemic control.
