Akkermansia muciniphila identified as key strain to alleviate gut barrier injury through Wnt signaling pathway by Xin Ma, Meng Li, Yuanyuan Zhang, Tingting Xu, Xinchen Zhou, Mengqi Qian, Zhiren Yang, Xinyan Han

“…We, therefore, identified whether A. muciniphila protected against ETEC infection using basal-out and apical-out intestinal organoid models. A. muciniphila did protect the intestinal stem cells and stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelium, and the protective effects of A. muciniphila were reversed by Wnt inhibitor. …”
