Keio University group transplants human colon stem cells into mouse intestinal tract, a new model to study inflammatory bowel diseases
The group around Toshiro SATO has succeeded to culture human adult normal colon stem cells into mice and grow them for 10 months or longer. By genome editing techniques, GFP was introduced into the human stem cells before transplantation. As a result, their growth in mice could be observed by fluorescence. It was shown that […]
