- Team from RI-MUHC and Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute “follow a gut feeling” and discover a new stem cell May 23, 2019
  The stem cells that fuel the lining of the gut epithelium represent one of the best understood adult stem cell populations. However, their exact function in response to injury has remained enigmatic for a long time. In a recent issue of the journal Nature, a team spearheaded by Alex Gregorieff, PhD, of the Research Institute […]
