Mini-Intestine with the Hormone Motilin in Green and Red

Caption

A mini-intestine, or organoid, from the EEC-Tag biobank. The hormone Motilin is labeled in green and stained in red. Motilin is a hormone that does not exist in mice, and can therefore only be studied in human cells, such as in these organoids. The nuclei of all cells are blue/green.
