Intestinal Stem Cell Niche Insights Gathered from Both In Vivo and Novel In Vitro Models (2017)
Journal Article
Gjorevski, N., & Ordóñez-Morán, P. (2017). Intestinal Stem Cell Niche Insights Gathered from Both In Vivo and Novel In Vitro Models. Stem Cells International, 2017(1), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/8387297

Intestinal stem cells are located at the base of the crypts and are surrounded by a complex structure called niche. This environment is composed mainly of epithelial cells and stroma which provides signals that govern cell maintenance, proliferation,...

Liver International, 36(11), 1639-1648. https://doi.org/10.1111/liv.13152

Background & Aims
Screening for oesophageal varices (OV) using conventional oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (C-OGD) is invasive and requires costly monitoring, recovery, and decontamination facilities. We aimed to evaluate the technical feasibility, acc...
