    GlossaryIntestinal Stem Cells (gut stem cells)

    specialized cells in the gut that regenerate intestinal lining

    Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) are specialized cells located in the lining of the intestines that have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various types of cells that make up the intestinal epithelium. These cells are crucial for maintaining the integrity and function of the gut by continuously replenishing the intestinal lining, which is constantly being worn down by digestive processes.
