Abstract

Intestinal enteroids are "mini-guts" that recapitulate essential features of the intestinal epithelium in vitro. We developed and characterized native basal-out (BO) and morphogenically everted apical-out (AO) jejunal enteroids cultured in suspension. Using quantitative proteomics and a range of advanced microscopy techniques, we show that these enteroids progressively adopt protein profiles close…
