Using this assay, they demonstrate that, in areas nearly void of progenitor cells, ISCs are rapidly replaced upon re-feeding by depolyploidization of enterocytes through the process of amitosis. (genestogenomes.org)
We have traced the intracellular journey of endogenous ATP7A in enterocytes in vivo and in a polarized intestinal cell line in vitro by manipulating the extracellular copper levels. (cellbio.jhmi.edu)
The villi are covered with absorptive enterocyte cells, along with goblet cells that produce mucus, which provide an additional layer of protection — and a potential barrier to the absorption of drugs taken orally. (protomag.com)
