Paneth cell: Function, Clinical significance & Overview

Paneth cells are cells in the small intestine epithelium, alongside goblet cells, enterocytes, and enteroendocrine cells. Some can also be found in the cecum and appendix. They lie interspersed between intestinal stem cells in the intestinal glands (also called crypts of Lieberkühn) and under the large eosinophilic refractile granules that occupy most of…
