Abstract

Yavitt et al.<sup>1</sup> introduce a photodegradable hydrogel platform to control crypt curvature in intestinal organoids, revealing how epithelial morphology directs Paneth cell localization. This innovative approach advances organoid engineering, providing a reproducible method to study stem cell niche interactions and model intestinal development and disease.
