Enteroendocrine cells couple nutrient sensing to nutrient absorption by regulating ion transport

Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are specialized gastrointestinal cells that have a role in nutrient sensing and hormone secretion. Here the authors show that peptide YY from EECs regulates nutrient absorption in intestinal organoids.
