ABSTRACT
Telocytes, distinctive interstitial cells, have recently emerged as crucial components of the stem-cell niche in the intestine. Notably, telocytes are distinguished by their extremely long cellular protrusions extending hundreds of microns from the cell body, forming an interconnected network along the intestinal crypt villus axis. Due to these unique cellular characteristics, there is a need for tailored working protocols to effectively characterize and target telocytes. Here, we outline advanced and progressive protocols for tissue fixation, dissociation, visualization, and the use of tamoxifen-induced transgenic mouse models to specifically target telocytes.
