Multiscale analysis reveals that diet-dependent midgut plasticity emerges from alterations in both stem cell niche coupling and enterocyte size by Bonfini, Alessandro, Dobson, Adam J, Duneau, David, Revah, Jonathan, Liu, Xi, Houtz, Philip, Buchon, Nicolas

“…The gut is the primary interface between an animal and food, but how it adapts to qualitative dietary variation is poorly defined. We find that the midgut…”
