    Ontogeny and Function of the Circadian Clock in Intestinal Organoids

    Investigators showed that both PSC-derived human intestinal organoids engrafted into mice and patient-derived human intestinal enteroids possessed circadian rhythms and demonstrated circadian phase-dependent necrotic cell death responses to Clostridium difficile toxin B.
