Deskripsi

The function of high mobility group A1 (Hmga1) chromatin remodelling proteins in intestinal stem cells (ISC) is unknown. Here, the authors show that Hmga1 amplifies Wnt/β-catenin signalling to enhance self-renewal and inducesSox9to expand the Paneth cell compartment and enrich the ISC niche.
