Gut lining in pregnant and lactating mice expands to ensure offspring health

A molecular signalling pathway called RANK–RANKL drives the expansion of the layer that lines the inside of the intestine during pregnancy and lactation. This tissue remodelling process has a key role in mammalian life history.
