Abstract

Paneth cells carve out a niche Paneth cells, specialized cells found in the intestinal epithelium, are known to protect stem cells by producing bactericidal compounds. Now another crucial function is reported: they provide the essential niche signals (EGF/TGFα, Notch and Wnt) for Lgr5-expressing stem cells in the small intestine. Multipotent stem cells expressing Lgr5 generate all intestinal epithelium cell types — Paneth cells included. Stem-cell niches are often seen as pre-existing sites to which stem cells migrate; this work shows that intestinal stem cells receive niche support from their own progeny.
