Biomedical illustration, microscopic view, depicting radiation-induced intestinal injury. On the left side of the image are damaged intestinal villi and crypts. LGR4 receptors on the cell membrane of vascular endothelial cells at the base of the crypts are emitting a faint glow, sensing microenvironmental damage. The endothelial cells are releasing the neuropeptide NMB, represented as glowing colored particles. These particles diffuse paracrinely to the right. On the right side of the image, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are located within the crypt niche. NMBR receptors on the cell surface are receiving NMB signals. The ISCs are undergoing mitosis and proliferation, with a noticeable increase in number, promoting regeneration of the intestinal epithelium. Style: C4D rendering, Octane rendering, ultra-high definition, technological feel, cool color palette, medical textbook illustration style, depth of field effect.
