Reserving the Right to Change the Intestinal Stem Cell Model

Leedham SJ.

© 2020 The existence of “active” and “reserve” stem cell populations in the intestinal epithelium has been debated since 1977. Now in Cell Stem Cell, Murata et al. (2020) show that all intestinal regeneration arises from daughter cell dedifferentiation, marking the coming-of-age of the regenerative stem cell plasticity model.
