Deskripsi
Epithelial gene expression has been shown to be zonated along the crypt-villus axis, but mechanisms shaping this spatial variability were unknown. Here, Bahar Halpern et al. uncover zonation of mesenchymal cells, including Lgr5+ telocytes, which regulate epithelial gene expression at the villus tip.
