Brief description Diseases, infections and pathologies are common clinical problems of the intestinal lining in both infants and adults. Individuals with these conditions can experience nutritional problems and severe cases result in death. The intestinal lining is generated from a small population of stem cells. In this study we use of a mouse model where the stem cells are marked and will examine what factors regulate stem cells in the intestine with the aim of facilitating intestinal tissue regeneration.
