Had the pleasure of attending the London Gastrointestinal Organoid Network (LION) at the Francis Crick Institute 🦁🧬 Grateful to be part of a community pushing the frontiers of organoid research! A fantastic day of science and gut instincts #LION #Organoids

A sunlit path in a Pacific Northwest forest in the morning. A little fog remains, creating bright shafts of light that fall on the mossy trees, ferns, and the path itself as it stretches into the distance. Two children walk along the path, away from the camera, toward the sun.

Very proud of this one. Sarah Hamoudi, PhD student in the lab, developed autologous cocultures between mucosal T cells and epithelial organoids from control or from patients with Crohn's disease.

T cell mediated impairment of epithelial integrity in Crohn's disease
T lymphocytes play a major role in intestinal homeostasis, with a particular impact on the balance between self-renewal and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). In Crohn's disease (C...

In an age of info overload, are we well informed or just misinformed? It’s crucial for scientists to communicate their findings clearly and effectively to everyone, not just their peers. Scientific literacy will promote a society that values evidence over hearsay.

Two studies report that upper crypt progenitor cells are responsible for #intestinal epithelial regeneration and restoration of homeostasis and not LGR5+ stem cells, particularly after injury.

Time-resolved fate mapping identifies the intestinal upper crypt zone as an origin of Lgr5+ crypt base columnar cells
A revised model of the cellular hierarchy during intestinal epithelial regeneration is presented, with the identification of multi-potent intestinal stem cells in the upper crypt zone. These cells are...
