New Study Shows Gut Microbiota Directly Regulates Intestinal Stem Cell Aging

Caption

A new study led by Hartmut Geiger at the University of Ulm, Germany and Yi Zheng and Kodandaramireddy Nalapareddy, CCHMC, Cincinnati, USA  reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline. The results were published today in Stem Cell Reports.
