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. Currently, there is little data on how these cells interact to control intestinal crypt homeostasis and...
