Hormone-producing enteroendocrine cells (EEC) regulate of energy homeostasis and gastrointestinal function. Here the authors report protocols to induce human intestinal stem cells into EECs producing multiple gut hormones, including SST, 5-HT, CCK and GIP, using directed differentiation with small molecules targeting FOXO1, JNK and CB1 signalling.
