Extended Data Fig. 1

A. Cartoon to show the cell types in intestinal organoid. B. Left, representative images for the straining of Lgr5 in both bulged and budded crypts. Cell trace indicates all cells, H2B-iRFP marks cell nuclei and Lgr5-DTR-GFP marks intestinal stem cells. Right, Lgr5+ cell numbers are similar in bulged and budded crypts (sample number N = 18 (bulged) and N = 22 (budded), p = 0.22, two-tailed t-test). C-E. Representative images for the staining of Lyz (C), YAP (D) and Delta 1(E) in crypts. Paneth cell numbers are similar in bulged and budded crypts (sample number N = 42(bulged) and N = 49 (budded), p = 0.48, two-tailed t-test). F. Time-lapse recordings of basal crypt actomyosin relocation during lumen inflation. Red arrows point to the crypt basal surface with increasing Myh-9-GFP intensity. Scale bars: 50 µm. The box-plot elements (in B and C) show the 25% (Q1, lower bound), 50% (median, line within the box) and 75% (Q3, upper bound) quartiles, and the whiskers denote 1.5× the interquartile range (minimum = Q1–1.5\(\times\)(Q3–Q1), maximum = Q3\(+\)1.5\(\times\)(Q3–Q1)) with outliers (rhombuses).
