ABSTRACT
The intestinal crypt and its stem cells are dependent on the Wnt pathway. Reporting in Nature, Yan et al. (2017) show that Wnts and Wnt signaling potentiator R-spondins have non-interchangeable roles. Both are necessary for intestinal stem cell (ISC) maintenance, and R-spondins are the limiting factor that defines ISC number.
