Using Microarray and Proteomics to Understand the Role of Nutrient Metabolism in Inducing Transporters During Ontogenetic Development of the GutFriday, 13 September 2013 at 15:00 Add to Calendar ▼2013-09-12 15:00:002013-09-12 16:00:00Europe/LondonTitle to be ConfirmedMicroarray World Congress in San Diego, CA, USASan Diego, CA, USASELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com For most animal cells, the signals that regulate differentiation and expression levels typically arise from endogenous autocrine, paracrine, neurocrine or endocrine sources. Unlike most cells, however, intestinal epithelial cells are directly exposed to luminal contents known to act as environmental cues regulating development of numerous transport and enzyme systems required for nutrient absorption. An important, unexplored question that is key to increasing our understanding of gut ontogenetic development is whether metabolism of these luminal contents is required for the regulation of gut enzymes and transporters. |
