Abstract
In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Tallapragada etal. (2021) present an intestinal organoid culture system for high-throughput live imaging to investigate niche-independent mechanisms of crypt fission. They find that Piezo activity downregulates Lgr5 expression in stretched epithelial cells within inflated organoids, which form multiple new crypts upon collapse.
