Stem cell
Epithelial progenitor cells
Precursor cells that contribute to epithelial regeneration and differentiation
Hypotheses on this target 1
Reprogramming
Transplantation
Directed differentiation1
Proliferation
Population balance
Directed differentiation1
Restoring support flexibility may let intestinal progenitors complete repair and extend life
Where this hypothesis actsAffected intestinal crypts where progenitors respond to the mechanical properties of their support
What is proposedEnable completion of regeneration and differentiation
With whatPhysical or surgical intervention
HowRestore the compliance of their matrix support while retaining their mechanical response to that change
Possible resultPossible reduction in chronically unresolved injuries and increased SPV_2
