1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
The intestinal epithelium is a highly dynamic tissue, characterized by a remarkable turnover rate and complete renewal of the entire cell population every 72 to 96 hours (1). Normal intestinal functions and morphology depend on a delicate balance in cell types and numbers from immature proliferating crypt cells to highly differentiated enterocytes that undergo apoptosis at the end of their life span....
