Abstract
Stochastic theories of stem cell renewal are shown to predict turnover of intestinal crypts. While I found ample evidence of production of new crypts from direct in vivo studies in adult mice, I failed to find evidence of crypt loss. Thus, it would appear that the simple stochastic models may not provide an adequate theory of control of intestinal stem cell function.Entities:
