Abstract excerpt
The number of stem cells that maintain a crypt of the small intestine is uncertain. Although the number of stem cells per crypt had been thought to be 10-20, current estimates indicate a much smaller number, possibly 1 stem cell per crypt. We report here that in SWR and C57BL/6 X SWR F1 mice, the...
