Mechanistically, redox state creates a self-reinforcing circuit linking HIF1α signaling to post-translational regulation of IDH1, a key metabolic enzyme. This circuit couples local oxygen status to ISC metabolic programming. 🔄🧪

By tuning cellular redox balance, the niche can shift the balance between asymmetric ISC self-renewal and lineage commitment suggesting that redox is a decision-making signal for stem cells. 🌱⚖️

We found that hypoxia + Wnt signaling collaborate to restrict NOX1—a ROS-generating enzyme—to the crypt base in the distal colon. This spatial control shapes where stem cells maintain an oxidative state needed for cell-cycle entry. 🔥

Intestinal stem cells live in niches that vary dramatically along the gut. But how do these microenvironments translate into changes in stem cell behavior? Our new work shows that cellular redox balance is a key integrator. 🧬⚡

We look at how intestinal stem cells integrate oxygen levels, Wnt signals, and metabolism for fate decisions in the unique environment of the distal colon

Super thrilled to share a preprint from the lab biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… We found pH regulates the inflammatory response 🔥in #macrophage by controlling BRD4-dependent transcriptional condensates. In my lab led by @younggouu
