- The gastrointestinal tract in adults is crucial for understanding digestion, absorption, and the gut-brain connection, while also allowing for the study of responses to dietary and microbial changes.
- Researchers have developed 353 GAL4 lines, along with split-GAL4 lines, that target specific cell types in the gut, such as enteric neurons and enterocytes, enabling more detailed studies of gut function.
- This extensive GAL4 resource is accessible online through the K-Gut Project, offering valuable tools for investigating various gut cell populations and their roles in biological processes.
