single-cell RNA-sequencing of human/mouse colonic crypts

Human colonic stem cells are slow cycling compared with murine rapid cycling stem cells. Our study aims to identify slow cycling stem cell in human normal colon in vivo and to analyze gene signatures among rapid cycling stem cells, slow cycling stem cells and secretory progenitor cells using single cell RNA-seqencing . We further investigated in vivo dynamics of human colonic stem cell using patient-derived gene-enginered organoids and orthotopic xenotransplantation.
