The study of estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ) has led to important findings in gastroenterology, particularly concerning parietal cells (PCs). These cells are crucial for producing hydrochloric acid, which aids in digesting food and controlling pathogens in the stomach. Dr. Jason Mills and his team at Baylor College of Medicine have explored how PCs develop from stem cells into acid-secreting cells. Their research, published in Cell Stem Cell, used a mouse model to examine the genetic pathways that influence PC development. By removing existing PCs in mice, the researchers observed the formation of new cells and their maturation into PCs using single-cell RNA sequencing. This technique helped identify ERRγ as a key gene active in both early and mature PCs.Visit here for more details.
