Stem cells and cancer project
Stem cells and cancer project
Stem cells, located between Paneth cells at the bottom of intestinal crypts 12 and 52 hours after a single BrdU injection. The dilution of the BrdU staining is well visible after 52 hours. Green: BrdU; red: lysozyme; blue: Dapi.
Additional projects are underway to understand the molecular bases of tumorigenesis. This group is part of the GIStem consortium, involved in the study of stem cells and their behaviour in the healthy and cancer epithelium.
