An image produced through Xenium analysis of mouse small intestines. Protruding “villi” stick up from the lining of the small intestine. Valley-like “crypts” fill in the gaps. LA JOLLA, CA—Your gut is ...
Intestinal epithelial cells lining the surface of our gastro-intestinal tract form a tight monolayer which serves as the primary barrier separating us from the luminal content of the gut. The lumen of ...
