Gastric Stem Cells: Physiological and Pathological Perspectives
17 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Gastric epithelium operates in a hazardous environment that curtails the lifespan of the constituents cells, imposing a requirement for continuous epithelial renewal. Stems cells that reside in the stomach are thus essential for regulating physiological tissue renewal and injury repair because of their self-renewal, high proliferation capacity and multiple differentiation potentials. Recent investigations using...
