R-Spondin1 enhances wnt signaling and decreases weight loss in short bowel syndrome zebrafish

Background: R-spondins, including R-spondin 1 (RSPO1), are a family of Wnt ligands that help to activate the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which is critical for intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and maintenance of intestinal stem cells. This proliferation underpins the epithelial expansion...
