Adult stem cell plasticity: new pathways of tissue regeneration become visible

Abstract excerpt

There has recently been a significant change in the way we think about organ regeneration. In the adult, organ formation and regeneration was thought to occur through the action of organ-or tissue-restricted stem cells (i.e. haematopoietic stem cells making blood; gut stem cells making gut, etc.). However, there is a large body of recent work that has extended this model. Thanks to lineage tracking techniques, we...
