Genome wide transcriptional changes underlie gradual and recurrent adaptation to protein malnutrition in zebrafish

Lysosome-rich enterocytes (LREs) are a specialized population of intestinal cells that mediate the uptake and absorption of dietary proteins in fish and neonatal mammals. Loss of LRE function causes inhibited growth and poor survival due to protein malnutrition. Previously, we re...
