Abstract excerpt
Epithelial stem cells are typically multipotential and are likely the cell of origin of epithelial cancers. Tracing the expansion of a single stem cell's progeny, identifying and characterizing these cells in human tissue has proven difficult. Invasive labeling studies, which have led to much success in model organisms, are impracticable in humans. Instead, human studies must rely upon naturally occurring clonal...
