Short ‐chain fatty acids produced by Ruminococcaceae mediates α‐Linolenic acid promote intestinal stem cells proliferation

Conclusion: These results indicate that SCFAs produced by Ruminococcaceae mediates ALA promote ISCs proliferation by activating Wnt/ β-catenin signaling pathway, and suggest the possibility of ALA as a prebiotic agent for the prevention and treatment of intestinal mucositis.This article is protected by copyright.
