COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PROMOTING INTESTINAL STEM CELL AND/OR NON-STEM PROGENITOR CELL FUNCTION

摘要

Disclosed herein are novel methods and compositions useful for promoting intestinal stem cell function. The methods and compositions are particularly useful for stimulating the proliferation of and/or self-renewal of intestinal stem cells, as well as for minimizing, preventing, or ameliorating cellular damage resulting from incidental or accidental exposure to radiation (e.g., cancer radiation therapy).
