Brief report: CD24 and CD44 mark human intestinal epithelial cell populations with characteristics of active and facultative stem cells

Abstract excerpt

Recent seminal studies have rapidly advanced the understanding of intestinal epithelial stem cell (IESC) biology in murine models. However, the lack of techniques suitable for isolation and subsequent downstream analysis of IESCs from human tissue has hindered the application of these findings toward the development of novel diagnostics and therapies with direct clinical relevance. This study demonstrates that...
