How does the small intestine maintain itself? What mechanism does it use to achieve<br/>homeostasis, and how optimal is this mechanism? We approached these questions<br/>mainly using cell tracking in organoids, for which we developed new cell trackers.<br/>We found that the intestinal crypt uses a surprisingly simple and effective strategy.<br/...

Brackish waters can be found in transition zones between freshwater rivers and saltier seas. These dynamic coastal landscapes harbor multiple functions such as housing, agriculture, nature, and industry. Because of climate change, existing borders between fresh and saline water - and between land and water - are becoming contested. Extreme...
