Individual intestinal stem cells generate spherical organoids when grown in lab-plates (upper pannel). Under the microscope (lower pannel), these organoids reveal to be composed mostly by undiferentiated and proliferative cells, the intestinal stem cells

Healthy intestinal crypts (upper image) maintain different cell types in their compartments. Cells located at the bottom of the crypt (lower image) in which ADAM10 is blocked (lower image) migrate to the upper cell compartment (cells in dark brown)
