Short ‐Chain Fatty Acids Produced by Ruminococcaceae Mediate α‐Linolenic Acid Promote Intestinal Stem Cells Proliferation

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