Single Lgr5 stem cells build crypt-villus structures in vitro without a mesenchymal niche.

TL;DR: It is concluded that intestinal crypt–villus units are self-organizing structures, which can be built from a single stem cell in the absence of a non-epithelial cellular niche.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of stem cells in small intestine and colon by marker gene Lgr5

TL;DR: The expression pattern of Lgr5 suggests that it marks stem cells in multiple adult tissues and cancers, suggesting that it represents the stem cell of the small intestine and colon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Depletion of epithelial stem-cell compartments in the small intestine of mice lacking Tcf-4.

TL;DR: The role of Tcf-4 in colon cancer was investigated in this paper, where the authors found that Tcf7/2//- mice die shortly after birth from colon cancer.
