The mouse neonatal small intestine is regionally specialized for protein absorption and transepithelial transport.
Journal Article Development · December 1, 2025 In neonates, gastric protein digestion is limited, requiring specialized mechanisms for intestinal protein absorption. While neonatal enterocytes are thought to mediate endocytosis, degradation and transcytosis of dietary proteins, whether these activities ...
