Single Lgr5 stem cells build crypt-villus structures in vitro without a mesenchymal niche [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Sato et al. present a method for establishing long-term culture conditions whereby single stem cells or single crypt structures isolated from intestinal crypts can generate organoids with all the differentiated cell types and architecture of intestinal crypts present in adult mammals. The stem cells they used to start the cultures were marked by Lrg5+, a protein that in an earlier study had been shown to mark six cycling stem cells that renew the rapidly self-renewing tissue of the intestine. They conclude that intestinal crypt-villus units are self-organizing structures, which can be built from a single stem cell in the absence of a cellular niche.
