Long-range organization of intestinal 2D-crypts using exogenous Wnt3a micropatterning by Enara Larrañaga, Miquel Marin-Riera, Aina Abad-Lázaro, David Bartolomé-Català, Aitor Otero, Vanesa Fernández-Majada, Eduard Batlle, James Sharpe, Samuel Ojosnegros, Jordi Comelles, Elena Martinez

“…Here we show that micropatterns of Wnt3a can govern the size, shape and long-range organization of crypts in vitro. By adjusting the spacing between Wnt3a ligand patterns at the microscale over large surfaces, we override endogenous Wnt3a to precisely control the distribution and long-range order of crypt-like regions in primary epithelial monolayers. …”
