www.helsinki.fi Ravintoaineet ohjaavat suolen kantasolujen toimintaa ja vaikuttavat ikääntymiseen | Helsingin... Suolen kantasolujen kyky ylläpitää suolen solujen tasapainoa heikentyy ikääntyessä. Helsingin yliopiston tutkijat ovat löytäneet uuden vaikutusmekanismin suolen kantasolujen ravintosäätelyn ja...

If you are interested in how genes are regulated in response to dietary sugar, please check out our recent publication 'Sugar-responsive inhibition of Myc-dependent ribosome biogenesis by Clockwork orange': cell.com/cell-reports/f… 1/

www.cell.com Sugar-responsive inhibition of Myc-dependent ribosome biogenesis by Clockwork orange van den Berg et al. show that sugar feeding affects several gene expression programs with distinct response kinetics in Drosophila larvae, including transient repression of ribosome biogenesis genes....

How #StemCell #NutrientSensing is coupled to cell fate decisions? How #intestinal regionality influences #StemCell regulation? If interested in these questions, check out our new preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

www.biorxiv.org Stem cell growth directs region-specific cell fate decisions during intestinal nutrient adaptation The adult intestine is a regionalized organ, whose size and cellular composition is adjusted in response to nutrient status. This involves dynamic regulation of intestinal stem cell (ISC) prolifera...
