VII. Apoptosis in intestinal epithelium: lessons from transgenic and knockout mice
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis plays an important role in homeostasis of intestinal epithelia and is also a stress response to toxic stimuli. Transgenic and knockout mice have provided insights into the regulation of intestinal epithelial apoptosis that could not have been obtained by cell culture techniques.
