Researchers discover key gene ERRγ vital for stomach parietal cell maturation, potentially leading to new strategies for diseases involving acid production imbalances.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine discover key gene ERRγ vital for parietal cell (PC) maturation in the stomach. ERRγ guides stem cells to develop into acid-secreting PCs, crucial for digestion and mineral absorption. Findings could lead to new strategies for diseases involving insufficient or excess acid production, such as gastric cancer and peptic ulcers.
