The intestinal crypt has become the prototype compartment to investigate adult stem cell biology, and the list of identified intestinal stem cell (ISC) markers is already extensive. A comprehensive study now uncovers an additional layer in ISC regulation by introducing long noncoding RNA lncGata6 to the stem cell repertoire.
