The epithelial lining of our intestine is organized in a crypt-villi architecture and serves many essential functions including maintenance of barrier, digestion and nutrient absorption. Due to the ...

An IBEC-led study describes the development of an innovative method to control the formation of crypt-like structures and villi in the intestine using a contact protein printing technique.

These cells are split between the tiny, finger-like “villi” structures that line the small intestine or the “crypts” between the protruding villi. The researchers found that progenitor-like TRM cells ...
