Intestinal Stem Cells Live Off the Fat of the Land

Publication date: 3 May 2018
Source:Cell Stem Cell, Volume 22, Issue 5
Author(s): Derek A.G. Barisas, Thaddeus S. Stappenbeck
In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Mihaylova et al. (2018) show that short-term fasting increases serum levels of long-chain fatty acids, presumably derived from the host. This effect in turn can rescue age-related phenotypes that occur in intestinal epithelial stem cells.
