Gut cell loss and repair wait for oxygen to return in flies
Low oxygen prepared gut cells to die and activated signals in stem cells in adult flies, but cell death and stem-cell division waited until oxygen returned.Low oxygen prepared gut cells to die and activated signals in stem cells in adult flies, but cell death and stem-cell division waited until oxygen returned.
Preprint: fly studyGut and microbiome
Who was studiedAdult fruit flies, against flies under low oxygen
What changedGut cell loss and stem-cell multiplication began after oxygen returned, but did not occur during low oxygen
The catchStem-cell proliferation and intestinal length are stand-ins for restored gut function
