Abstract

Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often experience gastrointestinal enteropathy (DE) of unclear etiology. Now in Cell Stem Cell, D'Addio et al. (2015) utilize organoid culture models to study the roles of stem cells in DE and show that circulating IGF/IGFBP3 controls colonic stem cell function during homeostasis and in T1D patients.
