R-spondin 3 promotes stem cell recovery and epithelial regeneration in the colon
Epithelial turnover in the colon requires stem cells in the crypt that express the R-spondin receptor Lgr5. Here, the authors show that regeneration after colon injury involving loss of Lgr5+ and Axin2+ cells requires stromal derived Rspo3-dependent reprogramming of Lgr4+ differentiated cells, inclu...
