Evidence for a Crucial Role of Paneth Cells in Mediating the Intestinal Response to Injury

The identification of the intestinal stem cell (ISC) markers Lgr5 and Bmi-1 has furthered our understanding of how they accomplish homeostasis in this rapidly self-renewing tissue. Recent work indicates that these markers identify a cycling Lgr5+ ISC which can be replaced by a quiescent Bmi-1+ ISC....
